Summary
Spoiler warning for companion romances in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Before launch,BioWareconfirmed thatDragon Age: The Veilguardcompanions wouldhook up with each otherif Rook wasn’t pursuing them. This is nothing new for the series, after all, as we’ve seen previous companions have flings with each other if they’re free to do so.
Whatisdifferent this time, however, is that they get a chance to hit on each other before the player can seal the deal. This means that, depending on who you take along during quests, you might have to hear someone constantly chat up the companion that you’re currently trying to romance, as if they’re trying to race you for them.
Lucanis And Neve Are Making Everyone Feel Like A Third Wheel In Dragon Age: The Veilguard
While they’re not the only companions who hook up over the course of the game, it seems that Lucanis and Neve are the worst offenders for making players feel like a third wheel. True enough, their banter both in and out of combat is pretty flirty right off the bat, as they don’t wait to see if Rook is interested before making passes at each other.
Worse yet, since you have to get through a lot of conversations before locking in the romances, you’ll hear a whole lot of flirting between them before they pack it in. Lucanis might be a slow-burn romance with Rook, but that’s thrown out of the window with Neve…
Gone are the days of progressing your romance as fast as you want, as you could inDragon Age: Origins. Much likeDragon Age 2andInquisition, you can only advance the romances during set conversations and story moments.
Taash and Harding also get together, so if you’re getting with either of them, you might want to keep them separated too. Sure, your romance seems to take priority over theirs, but who wants to hear their love interest hitting on someone else before they have a chance to make a move? At least Iron Bull and Dorian waited for the Inquisitor to get with someone else. That’s the polite thing to do, surely?
