Stay awhile and listen: I have a story for you. Once upon a time, a young, definitely not 18-year-old Lauren really wanted to play Dragon Age. The slick, blood-red visuals set in contrast to the iconic pure white background caught my eye, and I scampered up to my mom with it in hand. She spotted the age rating and immediately asked the clerk behind the desk if it was “really violent.” They shook their head and went “nah, there’s just some blood,” and, with a glance that said ‘you better enjoy it,’ she reluctantly handed over her bank card. Those janky blood splatters soon became a symbol for me: they represented the one violent game I ever convinced her to get me – but they’re conspicuously absent in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
