Dragon Age: The Veilguard has wayfinding features such as quest markers, but they can be easily turned off. Players who want more natural exploration in Dragon Age: The Veilguard can turn off some options to greatly improve their experience while playing BioWare’s latest role-playing game.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released on October 31 after being in development for almost a decade. Following up on the narrative of Dragon Age: Inquisition, the game’s new protagonist, Rook, teams up with the Veilguard to fight ancient gods in the northern regions of Thedas. Unlike Inquisition, Veilguard ditched the open-world design, and it has more linear missions. Fortunately, gamers can still keep some of the world’s mystique by turning off quest markers.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Main Mission List
For those wanting to see how far along they are in Dragon Age: The Veilguard's main storyline, here is a list of each and every mission.
Among the multiple options that can be turned on and off by Dragon Age: The Veilguard players, it’s possible to turn off Objective Tracker Visibility, which means that the quest marker will no longer be constantly displayed on the right part of the screen. This will greatly affect the game, as the marker constantly points out where to go. To change this setting, gamers need to enter the menu, access Interface, then HUD, and turn off the “Objective Tracker Visibility” option, or set it to pulse, making it only appear when the gamer presses a button. Additionally, players can customize the “Wayfinding” options in the Gameplay menu, determining how much objective glint they want, as well as the visibility of the waypoints. It’s also worth noting that the option can be changed when starting the game, but it’ll likely be missed by most players.
How to Turn Off Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Objective Tracker Visibility?
- Go to the Interface menu, then HUD, and turn off Objective Tracker Visibility or set it to pulse.
- Additionally, gamers can visit the Gameplay menu, then Wayfinding to customize their experience even more.
While each gamer will have their own preferences regarding how to customize the settings, turning off the tracker is likely a good idea, considering that Dragon Age: The Veilguard is already a somewhat linear game. Apart from this, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has several accessibility options, allowing gamers a wide range of choices to customize their experience, including multiple difficulty levels, disabling quick time events, and more.
So far, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has received positive reviews, which have mostly praised the RPG’s story, companions, and combat system. The game currently holds an average score of 82 on OpenCritic, with 59 reviews.
While there is still no information about sales, it seems that the critical reception of BioWare’s new game was generally positive among fans. Baldur's Gate 3' s publishing director has praised Dragon Age: The Veilguard, for example, describing it as a well-made, character-driven story with a brilliant combat system.
