The Veilguard turns a lot of common franchise elements on its head, but the way it keeps one franchise tradition alive is quite funny.

The Veilguard do not necessarily start as strong as their Rogue or Warrior counterparts. However, their combat prowess grows as the story progresses, making them a rewarding choice over time. They are also incredibly effective both at range and in melee combat,

The point of no return in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is during the 'When plans align' quest where you have a meeting with Morrigan. While you're having the meeting with Morrigan the end of the game will trigger and you'll be given a choice.
