Developer Bioware shared a new blog post dedicated to the accessibility options included in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. The team sought to make the thoughtful and deliberate implementation of accessibility a foundational component of the game.
First, the game outlined the available difficulty settings. Even after selecting a difficulty from the list below, there are more combat options available in the Settings Menu if you wish to make further adjustments. For example, you can adjust elements like parry timing, aim assist strength, or even how aggressive enemies are.
- Storyteller – Here for the story.
- Keeper – A balanced combat experience that emphasizes party composition and equipment choices over reaction times.
- Adventurer – A balanced experience that places equal emphasis on combat, party composition, and equipment choices.
- Underdog – Here to be pushed to the limit, requiring strategic planning and tactical decisions.
- Nightmare – Overwhelming battles that give no quarter. Requires a mastery of combat, equipment, skills, and game mechanics to survive. Selecting Nightmare cannot be undone without starting a new playthrough.
- Unbound – Customize all settings. Settings impact numerous aspects of gameplay. If this is your first time, consider a curated preset instead.
Players can also customize their UI and HUD elements, many of which can be conditionally hidden or turned off entirely.
Beyond the UI and HUD, there are a few more options regarding the game’s visual effects, things like the Motion Blur settings, Camera Shake, and more. The blog goes further to note that all inputs are remappable for gameplay in Dragon Age: The Veilguard on both controller and keyboard for all platforms.
Check out the Accessibility portal to see the full list of options.
