Dragon Age: The Veilguard | Which Class Fits Your Personal Playstyle Best?!

[@FunnyManRoc]

Mage - Spellblade (hopeful there's a build close enough to Arcane Warrior or Knight Enchanter to fit me). Respec probably won't be that useful since I'm only interested in a single specialization from each class...

[@hellskullz]

Jokes on you, with the power of AAA (ADHD, Anxiety, and Autism) I will ALWAYS have that "I should have picked the other option" regret 10-20hours into a game! EDIT: since a lot of people have commented I felt like I should give an update lol. I have already made a new character probably about 15 times since starting the game on release. Quickly learned you can only have 3 different saves so would delete to remake and try out different class, background, or race combinations.

[@moonwatcher99]
