It's been 10 years since the smash-hit fantasy roleplaying game Dragon Age: Inquisition was released. Now, its long-awaited follow up, Dragon Age: The Veilguard, is nearly here. It's been a long wait to finally get our hands on it after our first glimpse at gameplay back in June during Summer Game Fest .

But now it's nearly here, and you'll be able to head off on your own Veilguard journey soon enough. To be honest, this series didn't keep me invested before. But after playing just a few hours last month, Veilguard jumped to the top of my list as one of my most anticipated releases of 2024.

I've had the chance to play over 20 hours of the action RPG by now, and I'm pleased to say what I've played so far is truly great. I can't wait to continue my playthrough to the end once the game comes out on Oct. 31.

Now that it's just a few days away, I've prepared a list of tips that should help you get going beyond creating your Rook player character and beyond. Veilguard is long -- 40-plus hours -- so knowing what to do and where to begin will give you the kickstart you need to get started on your own Dragon Age journey. Play on performance mode The graphics mode toggle in the graphics settings lets you prioritize frame rate or visuals.

I recommend frame rate. If you're playing on console, the very first thing you should do is set your graphics settings to Performance mode. This mode prioritizes the game's frame rate, boosting it higher while lowering the game's resolution.
