To start off, let’s lay out what the secret ending entails. After the credits roll, we see illustrations of several key moments in the Dragon Age series. This includes Loghain betraying the Grey Wardens in Dragon Age: Origins,

The Veilguard doesn't ask us who became Divine at the end of Inquisition. For the most part, the game writes around this, but there's at least one contradiction that gets in the way of Leliana being Divine.

The Veilguard bucks a problematic trend by featuring a wide array of genuinely complex and terrifying female villains.
