Dragon Age The Veilguard - Should Maevaris or Dorian Become the Archon

The choice to make Dorian or Maevaris the Archon occurs during the Soul of a City regional quest in Dragon Age: the Veilguard. Check out the consequences of each choice and see if Maevaris or Dorian should become Archon here!

Should Maevaris or Dorian Become Archon?

Depends on Preferred Future Archon

Choosing between Maevaris and Dorian will only change the ending slides found after the game's different ending cutscenes. It will not affect the story's outcome up until that point.

As such, players should choose based on who they believe would make the better Archon.

Unable to Choose if Players Helped Treviso

If Rook chooses to help Treviso after the "A Warden's Best Friend" main quest, Dorian will automatically be chosen as the city's Archon since players lose the ability to choose between him and Maevaris.
