Dragon Age: The Veilguard has had a very long development cycle that hasn't been smooth sailing all the way. Marked by several reboots, changes in direction, a shift from live service to single-player, and a sudden name change just months before its release, Dragon Age's fans haven't had an easy time waiting for the next chapter in the fantasy series. Dragon Age: The Veilguard's casting director recently shined some light on why the development cycle has been so long beyond the issues that BioWare encountered, with Dragon Age: The Veilguard featuring 140,000 lines to record across 700 characters.
