The Veilguard Reveals the Game's Most Popular Factions



Key Takeaways

  • The Grey Wardens and Shadow Dragons are the most popular factions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, with each being picked by 24% of all players.
  • Mages are the most played class in The Veilguard, with 40% of players choosing the option.

BioWare recently revealed statistics regarding the most popular factions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Gamers get to pick between six different factions when starting Dragon Age: The Veilguard, and these numbers reveal that some factions are much more beloved by the community than others.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard was released on October 31, and it is the first game in the series in almost ten years. In The Veilguard, gamers can choose their faction for the first time. While players would be part of the Grey Wardens in Dragon Age: Origins, and inevitably become the head of the Inquisition in Dragon Age: Inquisition, the latest entry gives them the choice between the Grey Wardens, Mourn Watch, Lords of Fortune, Shadow Dragons, Veil Jumpers, and Antivan Crows.

Things don’t go well in Treviso if you leave it to the dragon in Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but you can still help clean up after.

Now, BioWare has revealed the most popular factions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Unsurprisingly, the Grey Wardens appear as the most popular faction, with 24% of all gamers picking the faction of Darkspawn slayers. What is somewhat not as expected is that the Shadow Dragons appeared tied in first place with the Grey Wardens, with 24% of all players picking them as well. They are followed by the Antivan Crows, of which Zevran and Lucanis are a part, with 16%. Bellara’s Veil Jumpers are only slightly behind with 15%. The Lords of Fortune and the Mourn Watch are the least popular groups, with 11% and 10% of the votes respectively.


  • Grey Wardens: 24%.
  • Shadow Dragons: 24%.
  • Antivan Crows: 16%.
  • Veil Jumpers: 15%.
  • Lords of Fortune: 11%.
  • Mourn Watch: 10%.


BioWare has also recently revealed the most popular races and classes in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Around 40% of all gamers played as Mages, and Rogues and Warriors were equally divided into 30% of the player base each. Concerning the race options in the RPG, most gamers unsurprisingly played as humans, with 43% of them picking this option. They were followed by Elves at 40%, Qunari at 11%, and Dwarves at 6% of all total players. Obviously, all of these statistics are based on the early adopters of the game, so it’s unknown whether they will change over time.


Overall, Dragon Age: The Veilguard had a positive reception, gaining an average critic score of 81 on OpenCritic, and being positively reviewed by 72% of all players on Steam. While these are not overwhelmingly positive numbers, the critical reception of the game still looks much more positive than Mass Effect Andromeda and Anthem, which were BioWare’s previous titles. However, BioWare has recently revealed that it does not plan to launch DLC for the game, and is already starting development of the next Mass Effect.
