2024 has become a monumental year for RPGs, showcasing a stunning array of both sequels and innovative new experiences. Notable titles like Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth and Dragon Age: The Veilguard have left their mark, while surprises continue to abound, affirming that RPGs are better than ever.
"I'll say one of the greatest challenges of this game, but also one of the most enjoyable things, was, How do the Dalish react when their gods are out in the world and rampaging?" creative director John Epler discussed the intricate challenge of depicting the Dalish elves' relationship with their gods when faced with the reality of their actions. This dynamic is a significant shift in the storytelling of the franchise, exploring the complexity of belief and historical ties against the actions of Elgar’nan and Ghilan’nain, who are revealed to be destructive forces rather than benevolent deities.
