Dragon Age: The Veilguard carries the monumental task of incorporating some of the player decisions from previous entries roughly a decade old.
To streamline and grapple with the ever-expanding Dragon Age lore, the team has boiled this down to three specific decisions.
According to IGN, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will have an "Adventurer's Past" section of the character creator where players will "select a few story decisions via tarot cards." You'll be asked if you disbanded the Inquisition, if you stopped or saved solas, and most importantly, who your Inquisitor romanced.
Unfortunately your romance options will still be gender and lineage-locked as they were in Inquisition. These three decisions will give players' agency in crafting the RPG that most closely resembles some of the choices made back in Inquisition.
This might feel like a small list of options, but Bioware would rather ignore some of your previous choices to avoid undoing them with needless references.
