As we edge closer to the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, there\u2019s been an overwhelmingly positive reaction from those who\u2019ve had the chance to preview the game<\/a>. An exhaustive character creator<\/a>, slick combat, and expansive scenery definitely left us excited to get our hands on The Veilguard this October. But if you\u2019re a Dragon Age fanatic you may be wondering about one incredibly vital thing: who do we get to kiss? As part of our continuing IGN First coverage, we sat down with game director Corinne Busche to talk romance and relationships as vital parts of the game.<\/p>\n

The Veilguard is a veritable candy shop with different flavors of romance. You want a buff gym rat? Taash. A heroic pet dad? Davrin. An elegant older fellow with an emotional support skeleton? Emmrich, of course. There are seven companions total and, yes, you do get to smooch all of them. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe really did want to keep them relatable, more grounded. Some of them are quite sensual. Some of them are more physical, some are more romantic, some are more spicy,\u201d says game director Corinne Busche of the variety of the game\u2019s romances, \u201cYou may or may not wake up in a coffin.\u201d <\/p>\n

Coffins notwithstanding, spicy isn\u2019t new for Dragon Age. Each of the mainline games features romances that often culminate in a sex scene. Inquisition, the most recent game in the series, took the steam to the next level from the underwear-clad liaisons of Dragon Age: Origins and Dragon Age 2. Busche confirmed in a previous conversation with IGN<\/a> that The Veilguard will features nudity, though we\u2019ve no current knowledge as to the extent of it. The Character Creator provides a couple of hints, including sliders for both breast and bulge size. <\/p>\n

There\u2019s sure to be lots to discover in The Veilguard in terms of sex and romance. In a Discord Q&A, Dragon Age Art Director Matt Rhodes responded to questions about wooing Emmrich\u2019s skeletal sidekick Manfred with: \u201cI would say \u2018not that skeleton\u2019 but we\u2019re not saying \u2018no skeletons.\u2019\u201d Beyond the obvious question \u2013 which<\/em> skeleton in Thedas is single and ready to mingle \u2013 it also suggests there may be opportunities for flirtation beyond the seven romanceable companions.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s certainly precedent. The Warden had an opportunity to sleep with pirate queen Isabela in Origins before she swashbuckled her way into DA2 as a fully romanceable character. Lace Harding similarly appeared in Inquisition as a character the player could playfully flirt with, Busche explaining to us that the love fans had for her ultimately contributed to her return in The Veilguard. \u201cPlayers fell in love with her, and we heard them,\u201d Busche says. \u201cI felt like it was kind of a no-brainer for us to bring back Harding.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for which romance is the steamiest? <\/p>\n

\u201cI’d have to say Taash,\u201d Busche shares [coyly], \u201cWhen I got to that scene and saw the finished version of that cinematic, I was hollering. Hollering.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The Veilguard’s romances have a direct impact on progression<\/h2>\n

In a departure from the romances of Inquisition and Origins, The Veilguard doesn\u2019t lock certain characters based on race or gender. Where characters from past games like Dorian or Alistair have preferences for specific genders, each companion in The Veilguard, like Dragon Age 2, is pansexual per Busche. She also expressed the deliberate choice in making every romanceable character a party member<\/em> who travels with Rook. Contrast that to the two romanceable advisors of Inquisition, Cullen and Josephine, who remain at Skyhold while the Inquisitor is running around killing things.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou don’t get to see that fear in their hearts \u2013 when you’re literally fighting side by side and maybe you’re about to lose this battle,\u201d she explains, \u201cIt just ratchets up the stakes that much more when you’re literally fighting alongside your lover.\u201d<\/p>\n

What that can look like in practice is a fandom\u2019s dream: endearments during battle. \u201cI romanced Emmrich,\u201d says Busche,\u201d What I also loved is, as I’m synergizing with him as we’re doing combos, just having him refer to me as \u2018my dear\u2019 on the battlefield. \u2018Well done, my dear!\u2019 It just fills me with joy every time.\u201d<\/p>\n

In fact, the way relationships \u2013platonic or romantic \u2013 affect gameplay is totally new for the series. Developing these friendships with the companions obviously contributes to immersive roleplay but there are practical benefits as well. Now an integral part of your crew\u2019s progression, relationship building contributes directly to leveling up companions and unlocking skill points.<\/p>\n

\u201cNeve, for instance, has the ability to slow time or heal you right out of the gate,\u201d says Busche, \u201cBut if I really get the opportunity to know her, whether it’s platonic or romantic, I’m going to help shape her skills and augment those abilities that work really well with my own personal build.\u201d You may not be taking control of your companions during battle but in building these bonds Rook is better able to harness the particular strengths of each character.<\/p>\n

Character screens actually reflect the state of Rook\u2019s relationships. Neve, for instance, starts the game at \u201cMinrathous Contact.\u201d These titles will change as a player\u2019s connections with each of the seven companions deepen, providing insight into the level you\u2019re at with each of them. It\u2019s a clever way of marrying the systems of Inquisition versus Origins and DA2. The earlier two Dragon Age games reflected approval numerically, and DA2 actually implemented a Friendship or Rivalry system that locked a player into whichever one you maxed out first. What that translated to were companions effectively unaffected by major decisions toward the end of the game. <\/p>\n

These are realized characters. They might express interest in Rook, and sometimes Rook will initiate. Maybe they initiate with Rook. Maybe you let them down. <\/p>\n

Inquisition sought to make relationships feel more organic by hiding any sort of numerical or visual indication of approval level, though that meant you never quite knew where you stood with a character. The Veilguard\u2019s approach to approval systems wants the friendships you forge feel authentic, wants your companions to feel like people with their own internality. In romances, that means they\u2019ll act with their own agency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are realized characters,\u201d says Busche \u201cThey might express interest in Rook, and sometimes Rook will initiate. Maybe they initiate with Rook. Maybe you let them down. Maybe you commit to an exclusive romance with another one of the companions.\u201d <\/p>\n

Don\u2019t worry about leaving your friends out in the cold if you aren\u2019t interested though. \u201cThey will find love in their own ways. Sometimes that means they’ll find love with each other,\u201d Busche explains. \u201cWhen you make some of the truly gut-wrenching choices and you know that there’s a romantic bond there, it makes those decisions just that much more difficult.\u201d<\/p>\n

Relationships remain a cornerstone of BioWare’s RPGs<\/h2>\n

That hearkens back to one of the cardinal rules guiding romance in The Veilguard: relatability. \u201cWe always go back to the tapestry of everyday, relatable life. The various flavors, moods, tendencies that we experience in our own lives,\u201d Busche tells us. \u201cEven though this is a magical realm where fantastic things happen, that thread of being able to relate to and see these experiences that move you […] is very central to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Busche assures us that this doesn\u2019t just pertain to romantic relationships but platonic ones as well. \u201cYou’re going to get to know them really well. You’re going to develop trust, understanding. That doesn’t mean you’re always going to agree,\u201d Busche says, \u201cI like to think of relationships not necessarily as how much they like you, but how well you know them.\u201d<\/p>\n

The relationships in Dragon Age have long been a cornerstone of the series. Sure, these characters exist as extensions of the protagonist during combat but they\u2019re part of what makes each installment so memorable. Leliana\u2019s struggle with her identity, Fenris\u2019 conflict with Danarius, Cassandra\u2019s vulnerability as the Inquisitor gets to know her. And let\u2019s not forget Solas\u2019 whole deal<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“This is about a found family,\u201d Busche says, \u201cEvery family has their squabbles, but this is really about developing your understanding of each member of the Veilguard, and in turn, that’s going to allow them to work better as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n
