Ex Dragon Age writer's new deckbuilder Malys is the next step to his dream RPG

Dragon Age: The Veilguard left me conflicted. On one hand, seeing Thedas brought to life so beautifully, and finally getting to visit regions I’d only heard about in lore snippets and storybooks, was a dream come true. On the other hand, its narrative - what, for me, made the series so special - felt weaker than its predecessors', and the action-driven combat never quite gelled. Yet it worked for many others, earning largely solid reviews that weren't far off the now-lauded Dragon Age 2. But there's been an air of sadness or finality over the game since its launch, with no expansions on the horizon - a first for the series.
