                I really do miss how companions in previous games had distinct mechanics that helped define their personalities. DA:O especially, particularly with Sten who needed to be actively brought to places that triggered comments to get anything out of him, but DA:I had some of this too with Cole & discovering his 'pranks'.

                Veilguard OTOH is purely formulaic - every companion quest progresses in the same way & ends with the player making one of two choices for them.

She's wearing a shoulderless fur-trimmed burgundy dress and paler burgundy leggings. From somewhere out of her back sprout large feathered wings which she has partially furled around her. The feathers of the wings are layered, with the upper and lower bands a charcoal blue while the middle band is a more vivid turquoise in colouration. She's looking up from her book at the viewer, a placid expression on her face; a soft golden glow shines down on her, the better for her to see what she's reading.

She has long vivid red hair that unfurls into the water behind her head like a cloud of serpents, a purple flower decorating her brow over her hairline. Her tail is wrapped beside her; her skin is pale aquamarine, darkening to teal and blue as it thickens into scales like a backless dress all the way down to her purplish tail-fins. Aside from the mermaid tail, she has some bestial features: tiny fangs, thick gills striating her neck, claws and small fins emerging from the sides of her arms. Meanwhile her eyes have yellow irises and dark scleras. She's smiling up at the viewer in a manner that may be either friendly or hungry.

She appears to be standing somewhere hot, the silhouette of a city skyline behind her under an orange sky. An abstract broken halo hovers behind her head as a stylised indicator of confusion or alertness.

You're helping Grandma with their house and discover Grandpa was taken to Auschwitz in 1942.. but why? Investigate this mystery and uncover his past.
                                                                                                                                                                              This is much more of a visual novel than a "game". You mostly listen/watch/read (subtitles cause dialogue is not in English) FMV clips of actors playing various characters, then click stuff. Lots more reading, as there's lots of "encyclopedia" entries and text dialogues to advance through.
                                                                                                                                                                              The actors are great. Even tho I didn't understand the languages spoken, you can see they're really into their roles and their emotions pull you into the story. Music is chosen to fit the settings and situations well.
                                                                                                                                                                              Naturally there's some heavy content here and they don't pull punches with the videos either, so fair warning if you're sensitive to historical videos of atrocities and death.
                                                                                                                                                                              I found this experience to be very informative, as it covers the Holocaust from a lesser talked about area of Europe and includes a Roma character in a decently important side role to the overall story. And IDK, kinda felt like this was a good time to refresh and expand my knowledge of that part of WW2, considering. If you're interested in history and learning stuff, and like to read I would definitely recommend checking out Attentat.
