Summary

Dragon Age is a franchise that has been running for a long time. This fantasy RPG has allowed players to explore various different biomes and lands, from cities that thrive deep underground to magical forests filled with vibrant colors that many players have enjoyed visiting repeatedly.

There have been beautiful locations to visit throughout the entirety of the franchise, even when considering the graphical limitations of the first title, Dragon Age: Origins. Therefore, players that are hoping to do some sightseeing in Dragon Age, should make sure they visit these locations, as these are some of the most beautiful locations in Dragon Age, ranked.

8 Orzammar

A Finely Built Stone City

The player first visits Orzammar in Dragon Age: Origins. As the main city of the Dwarves, it’s no surprise how beautiful this location looks, even when considering that this city never sees the sun, and that’s when considering the graphical limitations of this early title.

While there are some poorer areas in Orzammar, such as Dust Town, naturally, the richer areas that praise the Paragons and have those that are part of a caste, contain incredibly built structures of stone, that represent the past Dwarves that have done something to push society in Orzammar.

7 Kirkwall Chantry

A Place Of Peace In A Chaotic City

Kirkwall is the city where the entirety of Dragon Age 2 takes place. While the majority of the city may be considered quite ugly, as discussed by many of the companions in Dragon Age: Inquisition and admitted by Varric himself, there are locations in this chaotic city that shine out from the rest.

Hightown is one of the prettier areas in Dragon Age 2 and is also home to the beautiful location of the Kirkwall Chantry. This is a great escape for any player who wishes to duck away from the grime and dangers of the city, as there is usually peace and tranquility to be found within this religious building’s walls.

6 The Wellspring

There’s Beauty In The Abyss

While there are plenty of beautiful base game locations for players to visit in Dragon Age: Inquisition, one of the most beautiful DLC locations a player should truly appreciate is The Wellspring, which is found during The Descent DLC. Players find themselves literally within a Titan, the mountainous beast that the Dwarves were once connected to.

Besides the Blue Lyrium veins that add a splash of vibrancy to the gray stone, looking out at the rock structures that jut out from the regular stone makes the descent to this level of the abyss much more worth it.

5 Val Royeaux

An Incredibly Beautiful City

Although Val Royeaux is one of the smallest locations in Dragon Age: Inquisition, it is also one of the most beautiful in the game. Being able to visit the capital city of Orlais is one of the locations that many players looked forward to visiting during Inquisition, and they weren’t disappointed by its style.

The buildings are glamorous and eccentric, like the people of Orlais, and many of these NPCs can be found standing around the city to admire alongside the stonework. Looking out at the Waking Sea is another pleasant thing to view while also admiring the small boats, though players that have romanced Josephine are sure to visit the city often.

4 The Lighthouse

A Place Of Solace In The Fade

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is arguably the most beautiful-looking Dragon Age game in the franchise, with plenty of amazing locations a player needs to visit. One of the most glorious places ranked in Dragon Age has to be The Lighthouse, the main base of operations that was once owned by the rebel Dread Wolf himself.

While players are able to decorate certain areas of the Lighthouse in their own style, the companion rooms and the external appearance of the Lighthouse remain the same. Especially with this location being within the Fade itself, the beauty of it is as fantastical as it can get.

3 Brecilian Forest

Ancient Ruins Surrounded By Trees

Dragon Age has many beautiful and interesting forests for the player to explore. A great early location in the franchise that has continued to be one of the most beautiful locations is the Brecilian Forest in Dragon Age: Origins.

This location is the perfect example of a magical forest in the early games, as it has been home to many wars and people over the years, with now the Dalish and Werewolves being at war. Players explore not only the woodland areas of the forest but the beautiful old ruins too, as they admire the scenery.

2 Treviso

A City Filled With Canals And Life

Returning to Dragon Age: The Veilguard, BioWare expanded the number of cities the player visits to two different cities to explore in the latest game in the franchise. When comparing the two, it is without argument that Treviso, the Port City of Antiva, is one of the most beautiful locations in the Dragon Age franchise.

Even when taken over by the Antaam, exploring from the roofs of Treviso leaves the player looking at this place they explore during the night looking incredible. The beauty of this city only makes visiting it that much worse after certain events, as the beauty becomes poisoned.

1 Arlathan Forest

One Of The Most Vibrant Forests In Dragon Age

Out of all the beautiful locations in Dragon Age, it is no surprise to see that the most beautiful place for a player to visit is another forest that was introduced for players to explore in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. This forest filled with ancient magic was once home to the main city of the Evanuris, the gods that are now trying to destroy the world.

Therefore, exploring the woodlands here is not only filled with vibrant nature but also floating buildings and glorious elven statues. With Dragon Age: The Veilguard being the first Dragon Age title to have a Photo Mode, there are plenty of great places to pose with the player’s companions among the trees.
