If there's one thing I'll be daydreaming about ahead of launch, it's all the romance options in Dragon Age: The Veilguard. Characters have always been one of the best parts of the Dragon Age series, thanks in no small part to detailed personal quests and really compelling romances. Romanceable companions in the series have inspired no small amount of loyalty and fanaticism in the fandom. If you don't have a Fenris versus Anders feud in your friend group, well, I envy you.<\/p>\n

So far, we know at least a little bit about all of Rook's companions in The Veilguard from its trailers. For those of you who've done your homework by reading Tevinter Nights more recently than me there are also short stories involving several companion characters to glean more info from. But we'll be hearing a lot more about all of them during the “companions week” that BioWare has scheduled<\/u><\/a> to start on August 26. Until then, this is everything we know about how romance works and who you can pursue.<\/p>\n

Romancing companions in The Veilguard will work pretty similarly to Dragon Age: Inquisition, from what we know so far. You'll take on quests relevant to your companions' backstories and, if you want to be more than friends, choose flirtatious dialogue lines at opportune moments.<\/p>\n

This time (as in Dragon Age 2) all seven of your companions are pansexual and are open to a relationship with Rook regardless of race or gender<\/strong>. Importantly, those you don't choose to have a relationship with might wind up dating each other\u2014like how Dorian and The Iron Bull had an alluded-to relationship in Inquisition if neither were with the Inquisitor.<\/p>\n

As is the usual for Dragon Age, romance with different companions will involve sex scenes later in the game as things get more serious. Though just how far the nudity in those scenes extends is something BioWare said it wants players to discover<\/u><\/a> for themselves, apparently.<\/p>\n
