Playtesters found Dragon Age: The Veilguard's combat confusing

Early playtesters of Dragon Age: The Veilguard found the game's combat system confusing. BioWare's team, led by former UX designer Bruno Porrio, worked to simplify the user interface to help players understand complex magic combos. Despite efforts to clarify the game's mechanics, players struggled with the combo system, which involves using one character's abilities to enhance another's. The team added visual effects to assist players but acknowledged ongoing confusion. Following feedback, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will be available as a free monthly game on PlayStation Plus, after EA noted it did not appeal to a wide audience.
