With series like Mass Effect and Dragon Age, BioWare has made a name for itself as the “choices matter” studio. These games have allowed players to import their choices from previous entries in order to keep a consistent world state that feels shaped,

The Veilguard players can now see how Rook ties into every faction via background choices picked during character creation.

This isn't the first time that a Dragon Age game has jumped off from a prior game's DLC either. Something similar happened with Dragon Age 2's DLC Legacy, which introduced Corypheus, who would go on to be Inquisition's main villain.
