Dragon Age: The Veilguard Has Five Preset Difficulty Modes, Or You Can Create Your Own

BioWare has detailed the five designed difficulty modes for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and no, they aren’t named traditionally as easy, normal, and hard. Additionally, the RPG will offer up an Unbound option that lets players craft their own difficulty setting.

A new accessibility spotlight journal for Dragon Age: The Veilguard explained that players can choose from five curated difficulties during character creation: Storyteller, Keeper, Adventurer, Underdog, and Nightmare. Storyteller lives up to its namesake, as it focuses on seamlessly delivering the game’s story rather than challenging combat, while there’s no going back from Nightmare unless a new game is started.
