Ask a group of people their favorite thing about the 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age series and you'll hear a range of🐲 answers from its gripping lore to an assortment of characters you should never Google without a safe search. Howeve꧃r, one aspect that warrants a few extra mentions is the games' often absolutely gorgeous visuals.

It's ironic, given how often BioWare games fi🌺nd their animations as meme-breeding grounds. But you'll find that each game has at least one or two truly beautiful cities, vistas, or even dungeons to catch your eye. You've already fallen for the characters, now it's the world's turn.

Updated November 29, 2024, by Dan Conlin: The beauty of Minrathous was already evident from its first sneak peek in preview footage of Dragon Age: The Veilguard. But once the game was fully released, we also got to experience the true elegant majesty of the Antivan port city of Treviso. It would be a true faux pas not to give it the proper respect as one of the most breathtaking locations in Dragon Age.

12 Treviso

Coffee, Culture, And Cutthroats

Ever since you got to meet the Antivan Crow assassin Zevran in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Origins, you've probably been curious about where such a smooth-talking failure might have come from. Luckily, it turns out his home country does far more to match his vibe than his success rate. Treviso, the Antivan city you get to explore in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: The Veilguard is a true majestic marvel.

Perpetually at twilight, the city positively glows, accentuating the elegant architecture even despite the unfortunate Antaam occupying force. As the home of the An🍎tivan Crows assassin faction, you might expect it to be dangerous, and you'd be right. But it's also the perfect place to grab a cup of coffee while enjoying the sights. Just... maybe test the coffee first.

11 🍒 The Wellspring ✃

Osmosis Stones

Delve into the DLC expansion The Descent in 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age: Inquisition and you'll probably spend too much time being slightly unnerved and/or dead to really take in your surroundings on an aesthetic level. But once you reach the end, you'll find the most 🧜eꦿxquisite landscape in which to probably die again.

Not only is The Wellspring incredible to look at with its vast scale and self-contained ecosystem, but it also introduces some 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:incredible new lore to the Dragon Aꦚge ♋games. It turns out that y♓ou're inside a titan, an unfathomably large primordial being that may h🌼ave birthed all the dwarves, so enjoy this gorgeous first glimpse at what you'll probably get to kiss in a future game.

10 🌳 The Deep Roads 💙

And You Think Your Local Highways Are A Pain

Along with the Titans, ꦏthe wide swaths of unde෴rground land in Thedas have some unique charm to them. The Deep Roads are huge ancient pathways and cities that may very well span the entire world below the surface, and some of its most notable spots are seriously worth a gawk, assuming you're cool with darkspawn gnawing at your ankles while you stare.

The Deep Roads are so varied that you can easily find yourself in an ancient city, a cool glowy cavern, or even an underground lake without making any meaningful progress. Don't worry, though, there are nugs pretty much eve♎rywhere, and those little subterranean bunny-pigs make everything more pleasant.

9 🍷 Brecilian Forest

A Dangerous Look Into Dalish History

For most, the Brecilian Forest is that region in Dragon Age: Origins outside the Dalish camp where you could swear you already passed that tree and 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:fought those werewolves at least three timesꦏ. But if you take the time to look around, it's also one heck of 🉐a looker.

The Brecilian Forest is one of the more substantial areas you're given to𒈔 explore in Origins, and the vibe of the place with its crumbling ruins surrounded by lush greenery makes it worth taking your time. Not even multiple Revenants with their extremely cool and fair pulling attacks can ruin the atmosphere here.

8 💦 🍃 Emerald Graves

Beauty With A Side Of Cultural Tragedy

💛The Emerald Graves in Dragon Age: Inquisition are immඣediately striking for being exactly as green as the name implies. Unfortunately, once you realize the name also refers to the ancient elven burial ground that spans the region, it makes the whole place a bit less cozy.

A forest whose towering trees almost make it feel like a verdant cave, the Emerald Graves have remained largely wild and untamed despite the presenc𒈔e of some bougie houses. It's breathtaking right from the start, but once you look up for the first time, you should just count yourself lucky that th﷽e ground is so soft.

7 Kirkwall

A Jaw-Dropping Enigma

Beauty takes many forms, and architectural charm can carry just as much weight as the natural variety. 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Dragon Age 2's city-state of Kirkwall is an enigma and a cha𒁏otic focal point all in one, so if the game had to be set in a single location for its duration, it's a good thing they picked this one.

The design of Kirkwall is distinct, with imposing chains and creepy statues just as prevalent as the colorful and vibrant Hightown. It🤪's all dangerous, though, and that danger is reflected in the near-brutalist edges aﷺnd dark corners, but as you spend the game getting to know Kirkwall, you can't help but appreciate what a living, breathing monster it truly is.

6 🏅 ꦍ Minrathous

Cyberpunk 9:52 Dragon

🎐BioWare knew they had something special when they began teasing the Tevinter capital of Minrathous years before Dragon Age: The Veilguard even had a proper title. It's as close as you can get to a cyberpunk aesthetic in a fantasy world, and that alone should be enough to justify its rad neon existence.

Right from the beginning, that wow factor is there; the magic-centric Tevinter Imperium knows how to flaunt its power, creating glowing signage and a downtrodꦿden lower class. Too real? It's ok, the docks and mo꧅re streetside areas ditch a lot of the glitz but still manage to look gorgeous in their own way.

5 The Fade

A Dream Is A Wish A Demon Makes

In the Dragon Age universe, dreaming is explained as your consciousness traveling to th✤e Fade. But few actually get to go there physically, and those who do often come back changed or mostly dead. It's a wild alternate dimension where anything is possible, except getting Morrigan to finally approve of something.

Whether you're there mentally or physically, the Fade can vary wildly in appearance. Usually, it appears as a distorted version of your known reality, but when tr𒐪aveling there, you'll find grotesquely beautiful landscapes where gravity is merely a suggestion, much like when trying to pick up a cat.

4 Hꦐissing Wastes 🦩

Coarse, Rough, Irritating, And Gorgeous

If you've played Dragon Age: Inquisition, you might have some words for anyone attempting to tout the visual splendor of the Hissing Wastes. True, 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:this open-world colossus is arguably the biggest time sink this side of the Hinterlands. Bu꧋t on the other hand, it's an excuse to get out of the Hinterlands.

The Hissing Wastes is a desolate desert home to ruins and a big hole, but there's so♓mething t🌃ruly marvelous about this place, and it's oddly zen to traverse through wide sandy expanses in the perpetual twilight while knocking out quests. Taking out some Venatori with Dorian and The Iron Bull is a nice bonus.

3 Elven Ruins (Trespasser) 💧 🐟

Everything Looks Impressive And Mysterious As Ruins

During the Trespasser post-game DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition, you find yourself traversing a network of m♏agical mirrors searching for a mysterious and threatening Qunari presence. These mirrors, the Eluvians, can take you anywhere, and one such place on your journ𝔉ey is this incredible set of locations

The Elven Mountain Ruins are situated, appropriately, among a sprawling mountain range, a🌜nd while you may be tempted 🐽to enjoy that view for a while, make sure to keep going. Eventually, the quest will take you to another massive ruin, giving you a much closer look this time, and between the mountains and pleasing greenery, you'd be in the perfect spot for a nice nap if it wasn't for all the murder and such.
