BioWare Reveals New Dragon Age: The Veilguard Accessibility Options

Today, BioWare released a new blog post that provides a deep dive into Dragon Age: The Veilguard's accessibility options to make the game as accessible as possible to those who have disabilities and may need extra customization or tweaks to make the game playable for them. The accessibility considerations have been separated into four categories. The accessibility options have been in the design documentation from very early in Dragon Age: The Veilguard's development process, with the options being made with "thoughtful and deliberate implementation of accessibility."

The blog post states that they want to make Dragon Age: The Veilguard a fun experience for everyone, regardless of skill or ability.

Then there are options such as Underdog and Nightmare, which make the combat incredibly challenging and punishing. Additionally, there is an option named Unbound, which allows players to customize all game settings.
