A set of 53 Trophies for Dragon Age: The Veilguard has appeared on Exophase in the last hour or so, allowing budding RPG players to plot their course to the Platinum. It's not known yet whether this structure is reflected in the game, but the story-focused Trophies split themselves up into 14 distinct parts, and then appear to wrap themselves up with a further fifteenth Silver gong. You'll then earn a different selection of Trophies for completing side quests.
The Trophy list is fleshed out with memories of Fen'Harel, mementoes you need to bring to a caretaker, and then some combat and customisation-related trinkets. You can view the full list on Exophase, with the PS5 RPG releasing on 31st October 2024. While some of the Trophies may prove harder to unlock when we're actually in-game, it seems like a fairly straightforward set from the outside looking in. Nothing requires you to play on a specific difficulty level, so it might be possible to get everything done in a single playthrough.

Give us origins and 2 on PS4/5 you cowards.
I never understood the obsession people have with these Trophies or Achievements. Why not just enjoy the game? I mean, sure I will admit some are fun to try the challenge. But I never saw the hyper obsession to get every Trophy for every game people buy…
Removed - unconstructive
@LavenderShroud I like to chase trophies (unless they require too much of a grind) in games I really enjoy like Stellar Blade. Gives me a reason to keep playing the game if I haven't quite gotten my fill.
@LavenderShroud When trophy hunting stops you from playing or enjoying a game, then I think that's a problem, but as someone who considers himself a casual trophy hunter, it can be a nice, additive reason to keep coming back to a game you already enjoy. Sometimes trophies are just a checklist to keep track of how much of the game you've completed, but some lists can make you interact with a game in ways you otherwise wouldn't naturally, which I think is pretty cool.
That said, I kind of think gaming would have been better off had trophies and achievements never existed, but in our world where they do, and will continue to, it can be a cool meta game you play with yourself. Badges of honor, if you will.
Veilguard will be my next platinum. Yes!
@LavenderShroud "Why not just enjoy the game?" Getting the plat is how I enjoy my games. If its not for you its not for you, but me, I love it. Enhances the experience imo.
No trophey for completing it on a higher difficulty? Fantastic; Veilguard might just be my sixth Platinum then! Just over two weeks to go now!
@LavenderShroud I don’t torture myself for trophies. I used to, but not anymore. Made it much more enjoyable. Though will never understand the games where you just smash X 9,000 times.
The list looks straightforward enough. No difficulty trophy looks nice.
"Nothing requires you to play on a specific difficulty level.."
Good news! ^_^
@hel105 Wouldn't "not gotten your fill" be reason enough to keep playing?
@BIG3 Exactly! I'm not sure why it's so difficult for people to understand that hunting trophies IS us enjoying the game.
@LavenderShroud It's absolutely bizarre. Especially when you can pop the majority of trophies without much effort.
The very early days of Achievements/Trophies were touted as something akin to bragging rights like getting your name on a high score table. Now we have the so-called trophy hunters actively applauding not being challenged.
@LavenderShroud value for money for me. If I get a platinum I know I've got my moneys worth and seen everything the game has to offer. Sense of achievement too if anything was difficult
Always will appreciate big games not making you play twice. Absolutely pointless. Nice to see that's not the case this time
I dont even have all the trophies for 1 of my favourite games, Hogwarts Legacy, which I have multiple 100% playthroughs in - sod getting to the Map chamber as a student from all 4 houses!
@MrPeanutbutterz Fortunately, we are long past those "early days". Trophy hunting has expanded and ain't necessarily just about "challenge" anymore. I'm 37 and don't really have time or patience to platinum challenging games.
If a trophy is tied to a fun challenge, like finding all the documents or places that are closely linked to the story and I’m only missing a couple of trophies for the platinum, I give it a go. Like in the Tomb Raider games, finding the artifacts was cool because the main character or someone would always make a comment. But if a bunch of trophies have ridiculous requirements, like finding a million medals or coins, or replaying the game on a time limit, then nah, I’m out.
@LavenderShroud I have my trophy notifications turned off and I only check it after I've seen the credits roll. Then I'll start hunting if I want to keep playing the game or replay it.
I'm glad I'm not a trophy hunter seems like a pain in the ass
@MrPeanutbutterz I remember the Deadpool game poking fun of that and giving you a Trophy for literally standing up when the game begins.
@Andy22385 That’s…Actually a nice way of putting it. I know some games make it worthwhile gameplay-wise, e.g. The Wolf Among Us if you try different story lines.
@hel105 My brother is like that. Not really into chasing them in games, but has 100% in a few games that were extremely important to him growing up, so it felt like it extended the game for him.
@TrickyDicky99 That’s exactly what my brother did in a few games on 360. He loved them when he was a kid, and it felt like there was more to the game for him.
@LavenderShroud I enjoy the game but coming back with some extra incentive is not a problem for me.
@Rich33 Doing all the Merlin challenges felt like a chore so I totally get that. I've never been a fan of trophies you have to grind a lot for. I only got it in Hogwarts because I took my time with it and didn't rush.
@LavenderShroud Some games do trophies better than others. But when done well it can give a good reason to play, or replay a game in a new creative way and challenge yourself. E.g. Death's Door only using the Umbrella or Dishonored not killing anyone. That in itself is fun and is added to the game by the devs to master their game.
But the reality is many games lists are just dull busywork, it's not a challenge to get, you only need time and patience.
@BIG3
I was fine with the merlin trials as they were mostly short & enjoyable, but i know what you mean.
I just couldnt be bothered with getting all the way to the map chamber with all 4 houses just for a trophy! (It may have made a difference if other than that 1 quest, there had been more 'house' changes).
I am certainly of the belief that all trophies should be gainable in 1 100% run through.
@themightyant Honestly, stuff like that I can get behind for an achievement. A fun challenge like you just mentioned would make things entertaining.
@Paramahansa Age and time are a cop out. I 100%'d Sekiro this year (by actually sitting down and rinsing a game I enjoyed, not because I wanted it on my profile) and I'm older than you.
Again, the vast majority of trophies have "expanded" to nothing more than digital participation trinkets. Effectively patting you on the back for playing the content you payed to play. Should nice restaurants give trophies for having a nice dinner? Or the pub for having a few pints? Or a book publisher send you something for finishing their book?
Trophies are nonsense and I sincerely hope Nintendo don't introduce them with Switch 2.
@LavenderShroud Lol yeah that was a thing. Didn't Nier Automata give you the option to flipping buy the trophies you were missing?
@MrPeanutbutterz Not a "cop out", just reality. We're different people with different lives. (I can't believe I have to explain that) Nuff said.
@Paramahansa Assuming we both work full-time jobs, have friends, family, other hobbies, etc., the age thing is 100% a cop out. You don't magically lose the ability to play videogames because you've entered the apparent wastelands of your mid-to-late 30s.
