It is no secret that Dragon Age: The Veilguard had a bumpy development, to say the least, and the fact that it shipped as a complete, technically sound, and overall solid entry in the beloved franchise is remarkable. Such long and tumultuous development cycles have been the ruin of many a poor game, but that wasn't the case here. That said, the game has undergone several iterations and changes since its initial concepts - back when Dragon Age: The Veilguard was originally and internally codenamed Joplin. One of the most interesting changes is its companion hub.
