Hey folks - I have a couple hours in now and just wanted to do up a post for those who were waiting for info about if they could play it. Please feel free to ask any accessibility questions. I can even test things out for you, to see how they look (I'll have to pace things out in testing, though, so that I don't end up too ill to sit up).

First things first: Turn off motion blur, vignette, and depth of field. Esp motion blur. Double check it's turned off.

The camera is constantly trying to help you, which for me made me quite ill in the first few moments of the game. I have ended up with field of view on full width max, which has helped with the motion sickness and camera. I might move it down by 1% at a time, thought, to see where the sweet spot settles.

There is no way to turn off the flashing lights and particles in combat. Note: the prologue has a number of flashing lights, but they don't have strobe-light pulse speed. Turning off the combat numbers (hit for 400, hit for 300, etc) helped with the vision noise a lot more than I'd expected.

Easy mode: playing on easy mode means less flashing lights/particle effects during combat simply by nature of the fights being faster (I'm talking 2-4 hits per monster). However, easy mode immediately presets things like your camera, assist, aim, etc - all of which felt like my computer was playing the game and not me. The constant movement of the camera in combat, therefore, was rough, so I changed to custom to turn off aim assist, etc - basically, I now stand still no matter if I'm being hit from behind. I manually have to move me. That is helping a lot.

Graphics: Currently, I'm running on ultra to see if it helps or hinders. Mostly, it's fine on medium and ultra.

I've tried with ray tracing on and off, and honestly, my vision must be too bad to tell the difference. Someone else might be able to comment.

Feel free to offer up any of your solutions or feel free to ask any questions.

Why's this take so long wtf

So after finished creating my Rook I saved the game the first time I had the chance and then I quit and restarted to adjust a few things. As soon as I was loaded in I noticed that all my modifications on her were lost, and the game loaded in a preset Rook. Am I dumb or anyone else has this issue?

I've been stuck in character creator for the past 2 hours fiddling with random shit.
Oh how naive was I thinking I will get any game-play done today.

On the bright side, the game seems to run well and so far everything I've seen (which is mot much to be fair xD) makes me super happy.

Happy Dragon Age Day!!!

Am I the only person fully insulted that there is a 3 character limit? There are 3 playable classes. Rogue, Warrior & Mage. But there are 4 Races (Lineage now)! And apparently 6 Factions?

As far as I'm concerned there NEEDS to be a 12 character limit if there has to be a limit at all. And honestly given genders exist I feel like I should be able to make 24 Rooks. Not 3. Frankly just allowing 4 would have made me angry but at least then we could have one character of each Race/Lineage.

But only 3 playable Rooks total!?

I'm honestly seething so hard I had to go for an hour long walk to stop swearing in my head & to be honest I'm still too angry to sit down & try to make a character to actually play the game with.

I made 3 Rooks to see what I liked best design & class wise. But going back to the menu I was met with this obnoxious static pop-up that cannot be cleared telling me I've hit the "Playable Character Limit" at 3.

How is it only 3!?

I've had gripes about the Dragon Age save space totals for over a decade but this feels like a leap forward that binds your legs together as you try to run. Origins had a 50 save limit spread across characters. DA2 had a limit I can't remember. Inquisition had a limit I somehow spread across 8 characters. But a hard limit of only 3 is beyond understanding for me. Sure I can have 100 saves per character but I don't have enough characters!

I literally feel like whoever made that choice internally has never played a Dragon Age game in there lives. I don't even know that I want to play anymore at all. The best part of Dragon Age as a series is experiencing the story in as many ways as possible, with every Race/Lineage & Class. I shouldn't have to create more than 5 alt accounts just to be able to play the whole of a game that cost nearly $100 to buy! This is just wild to me!

I can't be the only player who feels blindsided & insulted by this choice right?

basically title, does anyone know if this is an option?

Please show me your Qunari Rooks! I was excited by the idea of creating a lady Qunari but everything I've seen makes them look horrendous. Plus. I haven't seen any preview footage of people playing as Qunari Rook. I want to keep hope alive.

Idk about the rest of you, but when you finished customizing ur rook, does your rook mouth stay slightly open?? Mines one does even tho idk how to fix it 😭 other than that its so beautiful

Title. Just curious if anyone knows if the game supports any specific features of the DualSense controller on PS5?

I was going to pre-order last night before release to get the bonus items but fell asleep. no joke. im kicking myself now. will the items be available somehow eventually again? :/ The blood dragon armor (preorder items).

Extremely aggravated. Bought a physical copy of the Deluxe Edition from Best Buy. Microsoft Support says code works, nothing on my account preventing using it, that it is the retailer's responsibility to fix. Best Buy says, "Oh, many people are reporting this. All we can say is you need to wait 24 hours to attempt to redeem the code." This is after two hours of basically being told, 'Oh, you need to wait for the game to release.' Even though it was 1230pm in Texas on October 31st.

It is unacceptable that this is happening. I don't even care that I don't necessarily need the content to start playing. I bought something that essentially cost an extra 20 bucks that is essentially worthless to me right now.

Don't be like me

I waited until this morning to preorder because I bought into the haters. I got to work early and prepared excited to play tonight. When I had a break between teaching classes I pulled up the app to start the download and to my sadness saw the app had lost connection and the purchase had not gone through. Preorder was no longer available. As silly as it is, I want the blood dragon armor and Sony has politely told me to go f*** myself.

Sharing my sadness here while I pout about it for a couple of days before I give up and buy the game on Steam because Sony disappointed me.

Use custom difficulty and turn

Enemy damage: highest

Enemy Health: Low

Enemy Agression: Highest

Combat timing: reactive

This makes the game feel so much more rewarding and having there still be threat without the enemies feeling so spongey.

Made character past opening scenes. When do I get to past game choices?

Is “Veilguard” the right time to collectively decide that Dragon Age should have a single protagonist?

Last time I remember people were still defending the concept of multiple protagonists, but this is getting sillier and sillier.

25 to 30 FPS on low I read somewhere.....

If you are running into issues with your PC performance and things just don't feel right, do these things.

1. Make sure your graphics drivers are up to date.
2. Make sure your bios are up to date. (This was the main answer for me)
3. Turn off your machine and turn it back on.
4. Unplug your power cord and plug it back in (why I don't know, my laptop has always been like this).

That should do it. I ran out of my 2 hour steam trial timer so you don't have to ;)

Current running with everything set to ultra except for ray tracing (off) and level of detail and textures (both at medium). I can't say what my performance in fps is due to NVidia being weird and not rendering fps at the moment for me. I am using a Lenovo Legion 7 Slim Laptop RTX 3060 with AMD Ryzen 7 from the 5000 series and it feels really good with those settings, granted I've only been able to test the opening of the game after several reboots and shader compilations and the other stuff mentioned above. Enjoy Thedas!

This is all. I was expecting to meet issues when I saw people trying to troubleshoot problems on PC but it's smooth sailing.

Also probably for the first time ever made a custom character from scratch instead of just using presets in game or google. And I'm pretty satisfied with it.

I looked at the PC Gaming wiki and it says there should be an aspect ratio toggle but I can't seem to find it for the life of me.

Before i purchase, i want to ask if the l3 for sprinting can be changed to a better face button or the d pad or something

thanks

Hi everyone! If you're playing Veilguard today on PC and have a Nvidia graphics card, be sure to make sure your drivers are up to date! There was a new release of Drivers a little over a week ago which were partially targeted at the new Veilguard release. It can definitely lead to crashes if you don't have these updated.
