(Alleged) leaks about Dragon Age: Dreadwolf gameplay
A leaker from reddit claimed to do playtesting of Dreadwolf gameplay and shared some tidbits. I complied all his answers here for convenience, since he talked on various subreddits.
Are they reliable? No idea. However, their answers seems to match the leaked gameplay we saw previously and also some other leaks from before.
More under read more:
Combat gameplay:
1 PC + 3 companions
You cannot control your companions directly, you control your PC. You can give out commands to them to use abilities (similar to Mass Effect Andromeda), but you don't switch over to them.
You can pause combat. Your character can attack, dodge and block. You cannot spam abilities. You dont have many abilities.
Leaker described the combat as close to God of War, Mass Effect Andromeda, Witcher 3. "If ME:A was meelee instead of ranged".
"essentially action game now, no similarity to Dragon Age: Origins" (or Baldurs Gate 3)
No tactical aspect
General gameplay
Dialogue wheel like Inquisition and ME:A
Dialogue wheel had tone indicators (eg.: heart for flirting)
Difficulty felt okay, no Dark Souls levels but not too easy either - leaker died a few times to bigger groups of enemies
The gameplay felt fun
Quest were cinematic + had story, no fetch quest like in MMOS (collect 10 flowers etc)
Game contains codex
Easy to navigate UI
Each character had one big skill tree
Graphics and looks
Facial expressions much improved over Andromeda, Industry standard now
Graphics of environment are beautiful and really seem worth the wait
"If it released today it would be the best looking 3rd person rpg on the market. By far."
Hair is average, not terrible but not top tier either, passable for 2023
Writing
Cant really comment on the story, was thrown in the middle of the quest (the focus of play test was on gameplay)
Quests felt very dynamic and one of the best in the series in terms of atmosphere
Character writing and dialogue felt "Marvel-esque", very quippy. Think Varric or Purple Hawke but for all the characters. (Leaker said closer to Iron Man than newest Marvel movies).
Writing felt bit better than in Inquisition
Companions
Leaker had 3 companions to play with, none of them have been a companion previously, though one of them was "pretty expected"
Companions described in emojis:
Companion 1: ⬇️👩🦰
Companion 2: 🧝🏻♀️😥
Companion 3: 🧝🏿
(based on leakers first comment, I assume the first companion is Harding. He also mentioned a sad elven girl - companion 2? Companion 3 might be black elf who appeared in some concept art.)
Atmosphere
Good, it felt like a Dragon Age game (in regards to setting and overall feel of the world)
Out of all DA games, felt closest to DA2
General atmosphere is "race against the clock".
"It’s one of those things where the world is about to change significantly and everyone who knows, knows, but like 99% of people don’t know and so it’s super stressful,and you don’t have time to express to the average layperson why they’ve been attacked by a horde of monsters. It’s depressing and everyone is fighting not to feel defeated."
"The game will be divisive"
"Definitely better than Andromeda. Hardcore fans will probably be upset in the way that it’s the furthest from Origins that this series has ever been."
Didn't really pay attention to music.
On release
"It's (the game) basically done. I saw a leak a while ago about them having originally planned on releasing in 2023, and they could've definitely done that."
They claim the only thing missing seems to be some voice acting for protagonist and bug testing.
They think that the game will definitely release this year (2024), it seems basically done.
Well, hopefully they are right! (about the release, at least ;) )

Hi! Do you have any examples of dark skin characters in your style?
Hello! Hmmhmhmh does Fenris from da2 counts as dark-skinned character? You can find him under my #fenris tag
