When playing BioWare RPGs like Dragon Age: The Veilguard, one important aspect to consider is the potential for romance with your companions. Many players are curious about which characters are available for romance and how to pursue their personal questlines. This guide aims to provide assistance in navigating the romance options in the game.
One notable feature of Veilguard is that there are no restrictions based on race or gender for the companions, allowing players to create their character freely. However, it’s important to note that you can only pursue a romantic relationship with one companion per playthrough, so choose wisely based on your preferences.
If you’re looking for cues on how to progress towards a romantic relationship, keep an eye out for dialogue options that have a heart icon when you hover over them. These options are likely to lead you towards a commitment.
