Romances in Dragon Age: The Veilguard – Who can I romance?
In the new installment of the Dragon Age series, free love is the motto for everyone. Regardless of what gender or race your alter ego is, all companions can enter into a relationship with you. It should also be possible for companions to flirt with each other and give their hearts away. Fixed sexual orientations, as seen in some of the predecessors, are a thing of the past.
The developers of The Veilguard want to present you with a crew of individuals who bring their own problems, motivations, and backstories, ultimately feeling like realistically drawn, almost living companions.
Moreover, the companions from Dragon Age 4 have a kind of relationship level. Your decisions in the game and conversations with companions affect how much a companion likes or trusts you. This, in turn, will unlock talent points that allow you to activate skills for combat sooner or later.
In certain situations, it can happen that a character becomes hardened
. Then it becomes more difficult to build a relationship with this companion or even win them over as a partner. One of the most important decisions here is whether you choose Minrathous or Treviso.
Can I romance multiple characters?
No. In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, you commit to one relationship and cannot end it. So make your choice wisely. Once you are in a relationship with someone, it can happen that other companions begin dating each other.
The game gives you a clear indication when you start showing romantic interest and when the point of no return
is reached, at which point you will enter a relationship with a companion.
By the way, here you can find the best romances in The Veilguard according to your votes.
Improving relationships with companions – Here’s how
All seven companions have their own quests through which you can deepen your relationships with them; moreover, these are one of the most important sources of experience for your companions. Otherwise, you influence your relationships with the companions through unique dialogues and your decisions made in the game.
If you want to flirt, the game makes it very easy for you: simply always choose the heart option. You will gain approval from the respective companion through corresponding behavior:
- Harding: cheerful and happy
- Neve: a bit cynical, straightforward, and clever
- Lucanis: cheeky, sometimes a bit snappy, but honest
- Bellara: curious and open-minded
- Davrin: daring and straightforward
- Emmrich: compassionate and open
- Taash: rough and blunt
According to the developers, romance is not automatically the final goal. On ea.com, it states: “These quests and bonds are not limited to romantic interest; platonic friendships are equally important in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.”
