The Complete DRAGON AGE Timeline Explained!

[@gman4eva9]

This was incredibly well-done for how deep the lore is for Dragon Age. Perfect balance of succinct and detailed. Thank you guys, ready to jump into Veilguard now!

[@j2dacee]

As an OG DAO player who played the game in PS3 like 90 years ago, i NEEDED THIS

[@Minhajtheminhaj]

Lord I needed this as well, I am looking up lore videos to refresh 😂

[@Teh509]

Imagine if this was narated by Lilliana

[@hexlinger]

That's a nope! Don't wanna imagine...I hate her voice.

[@mortecai222]

I have a feeling I’m going to like the new game simply because gamers hate it

[@Killerboyh]

Nobody asked lil bro

[@americanardvark]

feel ya

[@IAmAwesomeSoAreYou]

It’s pretty good. Don’t listen to the incels

[@martindescoteaux9288]

I love the game

[@boneor...7022]

Wow, that's pretty pathetic

[@drakograal9580]

Didn't expect the shaun of the dead reference lol

[@CM-vh2ob]

Thank you for this Lucy! Such a good breakdown, this is another series introduced to me by you and so far you are three for three: Mass Effect, Alan Wake, and Dragon Age

[@SilverDragu]

Wow, this video was fantastic!! Well done!!

[@Kryptonic83]

Thanks for the great breakdown. As someone who put very little time into previous DA games, excited to jump into Veilguard with at least some understanding of previous game lore haha.

[@MegaMerdeux]

I recommend playing inquisition. While the combat might be a bit dated. The story and writing are way better than the veilguard.

[@admiraln8]

Thank you this was very helpful.

[@maximnewman2483]

Love this breakdown. Find the history so interesting. Really want to buy the official lore book.

[@b.c.eckhoff3495]

Loving the new game so far. Keeps getting better.

[@scotthenderson8302]

Such a good video! Thank you 😊

[@taylantaskn5627]

Thanks that was a really good explanation of it 😊

[@raineyrobb]

This was amazing for gamespot, she needs to do more.

[@Dasgrubergz]

Well done! Very digestible and enjoyable summary! I forgot how good the lore is. I am really enjoying veilguard. Plan to replay inquisition too.

[@mattm7798]

Yeah, with 10 years between games, I definitely needed a refresher!

[@QuintusAntonious]

Here's an idea for an Experts React video. Since the DA history is basically Europe with the Chantry being the Orthodox and Catholic Churches (after the split), and the Qunari as the Islamic empires, it'd be interesting to hear a medieval historians take on things.

[@skepticalbadger]

For that you'd need staff to produce the video.

[@MaryTesse]

You should have started with the age before the ancient elves, on which they were spirits and manifested physical. On how they killed the titans and attained their power and the creation of the blight.

[@killertortoise1]

Glad you covered the books as well!

[@868neo]

As a OG dragon age fan and player Thank You I needed this

[@swtormadness]

The video is correct on basically all facts except maybe what started the Mage-Templar War, as it was not caused by Anders actions in DA2 (albeit it was one of the domino pieces that fell) but by the 2nd vote whether to leave the Chantry that was called by Grant Enchanter Fiona in the novel Asunder. It's a 2nd one as the 1st happens during/after DAO: Awakening and sadly Libertarians lose the vote thanks to Wynne's intervention.

[@LadyMooncharm]

This was perfect, thank you.

[@praetorian7940]

Just an update from the wiki: the elven gods(evanuris) were spirits who (to my knowledge) made the elves or at least gave them immortality the spirits took the form of said elves this why they were trapped in the veil. And the reason the mages went to the golden city was because the old gods(who are sort of alter egos of the elven gods) told them to go there.

[@MrRaki72]

Finally a good summary of the lore.

[@zxn-hn4tv]

games back then had so much soul and great story telling, modern games nowadays is just graphic and money.

[@vintagecottonon]

I wonder if lucy is a big dragon age fan! Waiting 10 years has been gruelling 🙏

[@WhisWiss]

Amazing breakdown

[@wpeaston]

Fab video to help remember the lore from previous games

[@obsidiantain]

I am playing and really, really enjoying Veilguard but having never played the previous games, this video got me up to speed on what certainly seemed (and appears to be!) a deep and interesting lore! It’s concise and very helpful!

[@justinthislife]

Thank you for reminding me i am subscribed to you.

[@FelixS.]

And thanks to the massive "success" and high "quality" of Dragqueen Age the Failguard we will never see another chapter added to this once glorious franchise.

[@Dan-uf2vh]

In retrospective, the one closest to being the Chantry's "Maker" IS ... SOLAS 😆!!! He created the Veil and thereby the current Dragon Age world. His palace was invaded by the Tevinter magisters who released the Blight.

[@fai1t0liv3]

Nah, Solas was just a spirit. The Maker could indeed still exist.

[@Fira_mel]

Wait, his palace? Was that specified? I only remember them saying that the golden city was an elven city

[@uniqtechniq9314]

This was a great video. I needed this to understand the world a little bit before I jump into Veilguard. Thank you! 👍🏼

[@masonblack3461]

I've not finished the video but are we just going to ignore everything about Inquisitor Ameridan and the role the Hakkonites played in being the cause behind the elves ignoring the Second Blight?

[@Gp_220]

I like veilguard, but I was kind of hoping for a prequel that takes us back to the first blight

[@ardonkharduid3021]

I really wish they brought back Merrill after DA 2

[@dovahkhiin-ks]

I have just started playing this and this is my first dragon age game. Love it btw ❤

[@alequita]

Started The Veilguard yesterday and I almost cried at the wonderful beginning. Hope to see what surprises are we going to find there. Thanks for the excellent video, I loved the chronology and narrative here :)

[@maximnewman2483]

I’m really enjoying the new dragon age.

[@erickim3891]

hi all! can i jump into veilguard before playing the prior 3 storywise? or will i be confused.

[@drdoriangray]

If you have money to waste sure. I mean they made this game in such a way that what happened in those other games doesn't matter, and what it does matter, they give you the info so you don't get lost. Besides that, the game is incredibly mid in gameplay and story. Your money would better be invested in some other game.

True about attention span

[@fai1t0liv3]

Oof... the Griffons... oof...

[@MakingSpiritualityReal]

This timeline skips on Veilguard lore. During the Ancient Age, Titans were actually the first civilisation. The Deep Roads are probably older than the Elves. The Elves came after the Titans, and raised to power by usurping Titans powers and ultimately beating them and practically annihilating their culture. So the oldest civilisation that we know of is not the Elves, it's Titans and Dwarves, coming from Titans. We are actually still vague on the Origins of humankind, we know Elves are spirits manifested, we know Titans are the oldest primordial ancient force known in Thedas so far, which gave birth to Dwarves, but there is no official lore on what human beings are. Children of Elves and Dwarves perhaps? Humans also only were able to raise in power, because of the creation of the Veil, which weakened the Elves. The video also doesn't mention that all the Blights were caused by the Evanuris, because the Tevinter mages disturbed their prison in the Fade.

[@FLStyle]

This video negates the need for that bad 2 minute Dragon Age lore video from the other day, that guy should stop making bad videos.

[@AndrewBelmont-]

Jesus, i cant even watch an actual lore video without seeing weirdos constantly commenting about Failguard and its controversy. As someone who has only played Inqusition, I'm just here to experience the story and learn without the constant reminder about the new game.

[@Doomlordof]

The first dragon fight was fun in Veilguard but why is every dragon the same 😂

[@skepticalbadger]

Stop sacking all your staff GameSpot.

[@FLStyle]

There is a zero percent chance that any of the executives of GameSpot's parent company Fandom who make the decisions of firing GameSpot staff will see this.

[@surrendering2within]

From what I read, the company that has owned Gamespot since 2022 is responsible.

[@skepticalbadger]

@@FLStyle I'm aware. I commented for the benefit of those who haven't heard the news.

[@skepticalbadger]

@@surrendering2within They're ultimately responsible for imposing a restructure, but it's still Gamespot sacking people.

I’m enjoying it - sorry you don’t like it

[@Johnspartan296]

Its currently really succesful, and a lot of people are enjoying it.

@@joeschmoe5608 It is an absurd change/choice as "christ" and that religion is part of the history. Non-Christians live in the same world as crhistians and therefor share the same past and history. It would make sense to call it in a diferent way in places where it had not much prevalence but in Europe and America? Absurd. It would be like changing completely the word "narcissism" and many others becasue people don't believe in greek mitology anymore. Sorry for the random rant i wanted to speak my mind. :P
