There's a Dragon Age: The Veilguard news update for everyone to follow, Gamesradar+ reports that Edge magazine interviewed Corinne Busche, the game's director, who confirmed that the game “will not be able to control their teammates' characters.”
Dragon Age: The Veilguard downplays the role of AI companions.
When Gamesradar+ asked why the developers chose this route, she replied: “You live in this world. You focus on your actions. We want our companions to feel like full characters. You control your actions.”
Busche claims that the main reason for this change is that The Veilguard is a much higher action-per-minute game than its predecessors, which makes the game more demanding on player skill. So when we try to give you full control over your companion. We found that it doesn’t enhance the experience. And sometimes it makes the game less fun.”
BioWare realizes this is a big risk, and Bush said: “I accept that if you just read that you can’t control your companion, it might seem like something has been overlooked. But in testing and confirming with players we’ve found that they’re actually more engaged than before.
Well…we'll have to wait and see if the game developers' decision this time is right or wrong. Which we'll have to wait and see when the game is released.
