Will the Inquisitor Make a Comeback in Dragon Age: The Veilguard? Exploring Returning Characters and Storylines

As the release date for Dragon Age: The Veilguard approaches, fans are eager to know if the Inquisitor, the player character from Dragon Age: Inquisition, will make a comeback. This curiosity was heightened by the game’s recent gameplay trailer, which featured notable characters from Inquisition, including Harding and Solas.

The trailer indicated that the storyline of The Veilguard will resume a few years after the events of Inquisition, particularly following the Trespasser DLC, with Solas initiating his nefarious schemes. More details on the story will unfold with the game’s launch on October 31, 2024.

BioWare has confirmed that the Inquisitor will be featured in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. However, it remains uncertain what significance their role will hold in the game’s narrative.

Here’s a look at all the returning characters in the upcoming fourth installment of the Dragon Age series.

Returning Characters Including the Inquisitor in Dragon Age: The Veilguard

BioWare has unveiled a variety of familiar characters, in addition to the Inquisitor, who will be returning in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Let’s examine each of them.

Varric Tethras

Varric Tethras, a fan-favorite character, is set to return to the series. He first made his debut in Dragon Age 2 and appeared again in Inquisition. While Varric will be featured in The Veilguard, he will not be a playable character and will likely serve as a mentor figure to Rook.

The Inquisitor

The protagonist of the third Dragon Age game, known as the Inquisitor, will also return in The Veilguard. Since Inquisition was released nearly a decade ago, and many players might not have access to their save files, BioWare has introduced a secondary character creator. This feature allows players to design their Inquisitor for Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

Lace Harding

Another beloved character from Inquisition, Scout Lace Harding, will also be making her return in The Veilguard. She will be a playable character who assists Rook in thwarting Solas’s dark plans and will become a potential romantic interest in the game.

Morrigan the Witch

Morrigan, a fan-favorite character who first appeared in Dragon Age: Origins, is returning in The Veilguard. Known for her red attire and as a romance option for the Grey Warden, she also played a supportive role in Inquisition. Morrigan’s return was highlighted in the official release date trailer.
