Key conclusions
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard could potentially allow you to sabotage another party member's potential romance.
- According to director Corinne Bush, a party member can ask you for relationship advice, and you don't have to give them good advice either.
- This means you can potentially stop your Dragon Age waif from falling in love with someone else, although you deserve to be banished to The Fade for all eternity if you do.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is similar to all the other games in the series in that it has a strong emphasis on relationships. We know that all of your companions are canonically pansexual, so none of them are left off the table when it comes to potential romances, and that they'll make out with each other if left alone in an attempt to make themselves feel more real people than walking sacks that the main character has to conquer.
Unfortunately, this leaves the door open for a potential love triangle or two, as your reluctance to flirt with a certain member of the group could end up with them seeking the arms of another. If this happens, there's not much you can do about it, but BioWare has hinted that some characters may come to you for advice in their romantic endeavors, and you shouldn't give them good advice.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard can let you ruin a companion romance
Speaking with PC Gamer, director and creative director Corinne Bush and Jon Eppler talked more about these potential clashes of romantic interests, including whether or not you'll have a say in things once it all starts. In particular, Bush had some very interesting information for those who consider themselves professional pest control professionals.
“I don't want to spoil anything, but they can come to you for advice, and I can't guarantee you'll give them good advice.”
While we won't know how much you can screw up a potential relationship until the game is in our hands, it seems like you can make yourself the worst in the world and sabotage a romance or two if you don't want to. it happened. If you do, you'll firmly secure yourself a place in Hell, but at least you can potentially prevent your Dragon Age crush from falling for another one.
