Bellara can be found relatively early in Dragon Age: The Veilguard when you first return to the Arlathan Forrest after stopping Solas’ ritual. You’ll first meet her Veil Jumper companions Strife and Irelin who are looking for her after she wandered off.

Back in June, during Summer Games Fest, I was able to sit down for a behind-closed-doors preview. However, that session was strictly hands-off; we were only able to watch the presenter go through the character creator and play the game's opening prologue. My hands-on at publisher EA was significantly more eye-opening -- and exciting.

The Veilguard explained why they abandoned the Keep system, carrying over choices from previous installments in the series, and how they approach satisfying players and inspiring by DLC.
