You simply need to play through the opening sequence to unlock it.
What you cannot change, however, is your race, Faction andClass.
We do have a guide to thebest Factionandbest Classto pick in Dragon Age Veilguard if you’re stuck.
Romance everyone
We’re all here for this - don’t lie to yourself.
With choice comes decision, but don’t worry about it too much.
Feel free to flirt with everyone to get a feel for the relationship.
When it comes to committing to just one special someone that game will make this obvious.
Selling your items to Factions earns you points which go towards the ‘Shop Rank’.
This is a key part of upgrading your relationship with the Factions,gear upgradesand more.
In short, sell your junk but be mindful to whom.
You’ll have to backtrack
Some areas will only be accessible until you recruit a certain companion.
Each companion has a different ability which can change terrain and unlock new areas.
You might see a prompt that tells you you’re missing a companion’s ability to access an area.
As a caveat to this point, sometimes you’ll encounter ‘Blight Cysts’.
Once broken a boss will usually emerge from them.
confirm you erase the battlefield of enemiesbeforebreaking the Cysts.
Otherwise, you’ll have all of those enemies plus the boss to deal with at once.
This hub is called theLighthouseand each party member will have their own space here.
If they have a speech bubble near them it means there is a cutscene or dialogue available with them.
Funnily enough, I found the map most useful for pointing out ladders.
To get a combo skill one must be aPrimerand the other aDetonator.
You ‘Prime’ a target and then unleash the detonation.
It’s also worth noting that red bubbles may appear around enemies.
Always seek Approval
‘Approval’ is the metric in which your relationships with your party increase.
At higher levels, you’ll unlock more skill points for them to invest in new abilities.
The biggest way to earn Approval is by simply completing quests.
However, you’ll only get Approval upon completion with the companions you had with you at the time.
As such, double-check you’re diversifying your party often and taking different people out with you.
This will be marked as a gift so you should have a problem picking them up.
Rather, there are open-world sections that are connected to a hub map.
You’ll often have to complete a main quest within a new area before it is open to exploration.
Afterwards, you’ll be free to pick up sidequests and treasure chests.
Hover over previously explored regions and they’ll tell you if there are new quests to pick up.
It’s worth doing this after every main quest you’ve completed.
It’s worth also noting that you don’t need to go through theCrossroadseach time to travel.
If you have already visited the place once, then you could fast travel via the main map.
