Rook: The Leader
The Veilguard will feature a new protagonist, as has been Dragon Age tradition. This time we’ll be playing as Rook, who is recruited by returning companion Varric Tethras to stop the elven god Solas from possibly destroying the world. Their ties to the conflict become much stronger after the game’s opening hours, and they get pulled into a Thedas-spanning adventure to stop the end of the world. Players can customize their Rook to be a human, elf, dwarf, or qunari, as well as determine what faction they represent in the world of Dragon Age, which helps flesh out their backstory.
Players will be able to choose between four different voice options, which will be usable across different body types and pronoun choices. This includes Cyberpunk 2077 and Telltale Game of Thrones actor Alex Jordan, Baldur’s Gate 3 and Good Omens actor Bryony Corrigan, Apex Legends actor and Dimension 20 regular Erika Ishii, and Battlefield 1 and Persona 3 Reload actor Jeff Berg.
