Dragon Age: The Veilguard Progression Systems Get Fully Detailed by BioWare

As part of the launch preparations, BioWare has shared a new blog post and video dedicated to the progression systems within Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

• Diamond: Ability (can be assigned to an Ability slot)
• Medium circle: Major Passive or Ability Upgrade (adds effects or modifies existing Abilities or stats, like guaranteeing a critical hit on knockdown or extending range)
• Small hexagon: Trait (modifies existing class skill, like counter-attack, extending an attack combo or missile block/return)
• Small circle: Minor Passive or Stat Boost (increases the efficacy of Abilities, Passive, or stats)

Very importantly, Skill Points can be refunded for the entire Skill Tree or individually at any time and for free, allowing Dragon Age: The Veilguard players a high degree of experimentation throughout their entire playthroughs.
