Key Takeaways
- Companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard will romance each other if Rook isn’t interested.
- However, some of their flirty banter will start before the player gets a chance to lock in their own romance.
- This means that the companion you’re pursuing might start hitting on someone else mid-romance.
Spoiler warning for companion romances in Dragon Age: The Veilguard
Before launch, BioWare confirmed that Dragon Age: The Veilguard companions would hook up with each other if 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.
What is different 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 in Dragon Age: Origins. Much like Dragon Age 2 and Inquisition, 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?
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the long-awaited fourth game in the fantasy RPG series from BioWare formerly known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. A direct sequel to Inquisition, it focuses on red lyrium and Solas, the aforementioned Dread Wolf.
