The Darkspawn Ogre returns in the trailer, but fans may notice a significant change. Unlike the fearsome versions in Dragon Age: Origins And Dragon Age 2, this ogre seems far less intimidating. The new cartoon style of the game is the reason for this, something that has been quite controversial and hotly debated.

A brief but fascinating scene shows the elven gods seemingly creating portals, raising questions about their involvement in Dragon Age: The Veilguard'S Plot. Could they be the ones manipulating events behind the scenes? The silhouette of their design is also quite interesting.

9. Scout Harding's injured face

One of the most striking details in the trailer is Scout Harding's injured face. The bruise looks impressively realistic, with natural shading and coloring.

It will be interesting to see if this injury heals over time in the game, which would add realism and depth to real-time character development.

8. Scout Harding with magic Powers

Another surprise is the sight of Scout Harding using magic and petrifying enemies, which is quite unexpected since she is traditionally a non-magical character.

There is speculation that she may have gained these powers through the use of lyrium, a powerful substance in the Dragon Age universe. If so, it could significantly change their role in the story.

7. A hostage trapped next to a dragon

In a tense moment, the trailer shows a hostage trapped next to a dragon. The framing of the scene suggests that the hostage could be used as bait to lure the dragon out.

This tactic could be part of a larger strategy in the game, maybe even a game mechanic. Or it could just be a specific cutscene.

6. Morrigan wears Flemeth’s crown

Morrigan, a fan-favorite character who returns in this gamewears a crown that closely resembles Flemeth's. This could mean that Morrigan has taken over Flemeth's role as witch of the forest.

If true, it would be a significant shift in Morrigan's character development and could lead to her having a larger role and more influence in the game.

5. A fallen dragon

One scene in the trailer shows a fallen dragon, apparently after Solas opened another portal. The connection between the two events suggests that Solas' actions could be powerful enough to defeat these giant dragons, making him even more threatening. Or could it have been another creature from the portal that did this?

4. Red and blue corrupted dragons

The trailer also features two red and blue dragons, both of which appear to be suffering from the plague, a deadly corruption in the Dragon Age World.

The presence of these corrupted dragons indicates a possible resurgence of corruption, which plays a central role in the Veil Guard Plot, probably by Solas.

3. Rook with Solas' dagger

Protagonist Rook holds a dagger with a handle that closely resembles Solas's. This could indicate more interaction between Rook and Solas, leaving fans to wonder if Rook got the dagger from Solas or if he took it from him by force. Their dynamic will certainly be interesting.

2. Underwater Elven Ruins

One of the most visually impressive scenes in the trailer is a dragon emerging from the undersea elven ruins. This moment could mean that players will be exploring ancient elven locations.

The ruins could hold secrets about the elves' past or hidden treasures that could be crucial to the plot, especially if Solas is involved.

1. A lyrium mine

Finally, there is a scene involving a lyrium mine, which could be the source of Scout Harding's newfound powers. If she did indeed gain her magic through contact with lyrium, this location could play an important role in the game's plot.

The mine could also be a critical resource or a dangerous location and could also play a larger role in the game. Dragon Age: The Veilguard Full of hidden details and possible storylines for die-hard fans of the lore, the trailer contains plenty of revelations to process.
