Where to play
PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. It also plays on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S, which run the older version.
Difficulty
The easiest setting, "Casual", is made for people who are here for the story. You can change it at any time from the menu.

Before you set off

  • It's the third Dragon Age game, but you don't need the first two. It tells you what you need to know as you go.
  • Turn subtitles on in the settings before you start. There's also a larger, plainer subtitle style that is easier to read.
  • Fights happen as you play, not in turns. If one gets busy, you can freeze the action, look down from above and give each friend an order. Nothing moves until you're ready.
  • You can't save in the middle of a fight. Save from the menu before you set out, and again when you arrive somewhere new.

Your first hour

What to expect when you first press start.

  1. Create your character

    Choose who you are and how you look. It takes a while, and that's fine. Nobody is waiting.

  2. Wake up in chains

    The story opens with you as a prisoner with a strange glowing mark on your hand. Nobody knows why, you included. Listen; it's the start of the mystery.

  3. Walk with your first companions

    A small group takes you up the mountain. The game shows you how to move, fight and close the tears in the sky, a little at a time.

  4. Reach the village

    Things calm down when you reach the village of Haven. Talk to people, look around, then save from the menu. A good place to stop for the day.
