Dragon Age: The Veilguardhasnt clicked with me yet, and Im 20 hours in.

I could go on.

I’m not ashamed of wanting to enjoy it more by making it a little easier.

The Veilguard Is The First Dragon Age Game To Make Me Drop The Difficulty

Except Manfred.

To get this out of the way, Manfred is a reanimated skeleton well, kind of.

Hes actually a curious Wisp who Emmrich placed into a skeleton, reconstituted from the bones of various people.

He has gigantic green jewels in place of eyeballs, and wears a backpack.

He makes you tea.

He will play rock, paper, scissors with you.

He cant talk, so he communicates only through emotive hisses.

Hes a delight, and also my son.

Manfred is obviously the games comic relief, but like Davrins griffon Assan, hes more pet than character.

Manfred the skeleton from Dragon Age: The Veilguard.

The man can emote through any means, including, as weve seen here, hisses.

Its certainly not up to par with the earlier games, which is a real shame.

If more of them were like Manfred, I might not even be writing this article.
