Important takeaways
- Dragon Age: The Veilguard can potentially let you sabotage another party member's potential romance.
- According to director Corinne Busch, a party member can ask you for relationship advice, and you don't have to give them good advice either.
- That means you can potentially stop your Dragon Age waifu from falling for another, although you'd deserve to be banished to The Fade for all eternity if you did.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is just like every other game in the series in that it has a strong focus 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 love each other if left alone, in an effort to make them feel more like real people rather than walking meatbags for the protagonist to conquer.
Unfortunately, that leaves the door open for a potential love triangle or two, as your reluctance to flirt with a particular party member may lead them to seek the arms of another. If that happens, there's not much you can do about it, but it's been hinted at by BioWare themselves that some characters may come to you for advice in their romantic pursuits, and you don't have to give them good advice.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard Might Let You Wreck A Companion's Romance
Speaking with PC Gamer, director and creative director Corinne Busch and John Epler went into more detail about these potential clashes of romantic interests, including whether you have any say in when things get going. Busch in particular had some very interesting information for those who fancy themselves a professional homewrecker.
“I don't want to spoil anything, but they might come to you for advice, and I can't guarantee you'll give them good advice.”
While we won't know how badly you can derail a potential relationship until the game is in our hands, it sounds like you can make yourself the world's worst wingman and sabotage a romance or two if you don't want it to happen . You'll certainly save yourself a spot in hell if you do, but at least you can potentially stop your Dragon Age crush from falling for another.
