Dragon Age: The Veilguard is taking a more stylized approach to its graphics than previous entries, to some degree, and this has resulted in common franchise enemies like demons and Darkspawn looking differently. However, there is an explanation for each case. The former seems to be tied to the weakening of the Veil, their associations with strong emotions, and so forth, whereas the latter is thanks to the newly-released Blighted Elven Gods of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, Elgar'nan and Ghilan'nain.
