MeinMMO editor Sophia Weiss had a lot of fun with Dragon Age: The Veilguard and now wants to play the old parts. The games are now available on Steam for a total of under 15 euros.
Danger! Spoilers for the ending of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. If you just want to get to the discounted games, go this way.
During my run in The Veilguard, I learned that it is very important to make the right decisions in the character editor right from the start: you can transfer and customize your Inquisitor from the previous game.
And only if you have an Inquisitor who has had a romance with Solas and is dedicated to his rescue can you unlock the very best ending of all.
Now I want to know: Why? What does the Inquisitor Solas mean? What did the two of them experience together? Why is this connection so important?
But I can’t start in the middle if there are several games in a row. This feels like starting a book series with volume five. That would be very wrong for me. So I play all three parts – from the beginning. Luckily, there’s the perfect deal for me on Steam right now. If you’re just here for the bargain, you can click here.
Although the three games do not tell a directly related story, they take place in the same world and build on each other. I really want to know for myself how Theda’s world in The Veilguard differs from its predecessors. And of course I want to unlock the best ending possible in my next Veilguard run.

Everything in order – from one to three
Does it make sense to play the older games after The Veilguard? Each of the three games has its own story. Yes, some things we already know after The Veilguard: Varric survives his debut game and also the successor Inquisition. But what exactly happens remains unclear.
Borte Harding from the Inquisition team talks a bit about her time with the Inquisitor in optional cutscenes. But she wasn’t involved enough with the third game’s main cast to give much of a spoiler. So many questions still remain unanswered.
How are the games related? Overall, the parts are only loosely connected. The Veilguard also takes place in a completely different part of the world than its predecessors. Theoretically, after part 4 you already know a lot about the world and which characters from previous parts have survived. This can lower the tension.
Personally, I’m interested in the development of the world and what fascinates other players about the old parts. I keep reading on social media that The Veilguard isn’t as dark as the old parts (via Tumbler). I want to know what this is all about.
What kind of offer is this? Bioware’s original three Dragon Age games are currently on sale on Steam: 2010’s Dragon Age Origins, 2011’s Dragon Age II on Steam, and 2014’s Dragon Age: Inquisition on Steam.
They’re 85% off through December 19th. Origins and II now cost 4.49 euros, Inquisition still costs 5.99 euros. This means you can buy all of The Veilguard’s predecessor games for a total of 14.97 euros. That’s not quite as cheap as 3 months ago, when the games were offered for a total of just under 10 euros, but still a bargain (via gg.deals)
I bought the three games this morning after I received the three games on your wish list in the sale email. Let’s see if I can get it to work on my Steam Deck.
Then this is the perfect activity between the years. And with all this new knowledge, I might start another Veilguard run again. I’ll probably be really impressed by the difference in graphics. Another game from 2013 is currently delighting the Reddit community with how good the graphics still look 11 years later.
