Dragon Age: Origins is, for me, the magnum opus of companion-centric RPGs. There’s romance and flirting, bickering and all-out fighting, all made plausible by a colorful cast of perfectly crafted fantasy characters. While Dragon Age 2 featured the excellent Fenris and Isabela, and Inquisition killed it with Solas and Josephine (although I still want Vivienne), both have since been outclassed by Larian’s Baldur’s Gate 3. Given I still see Astarion’s face at least once a day on my Twitter timeline, BG3 feels like ‘the game to live up to,’ so I ask Dragon Age: The Veilguard‘s creative director, John Epler, if BG3’s success scares him.
