Dragon Age The Veilguard romance guide
There are four main steps you need to take in order to romance a companion in Dragon Age: The Veilguard:
- Complete your romance option's companion quests.
- Pick the 'flirt' option at least a few times.
- Express your romantic interest.
- Commit to your choosen companion.
- See their 'romance' scene.
You can flirt with as many companions as you want, right up until you get the scene that forces you to commit, or call off, a romance with them. You'll know you're rejecting a romance path when the symbol of a broken heart appears in the dialogue options.
So feel free to get flirty with any companion that catches your attention, if you can't decide right away.
How to flirt with companions
All you have to do is pick the heart symbol when it appears on the dialogue wheel to flirt with a companion. You're not immediately locked-in to a romance as soon as you do this, so don't worry about getting close to multiple companions at once.
There are also opportunities to experience more unique 'flirting' than just a dialogue exchange, so make sure to follow through with these scenes in flirty fashion, if you're looking to romance the person that initiates them.
How to commit to a companion
As long as you've been following a companion's questline while flirting with them, you will eventually come to a romance scene with the option to commit to them, usually around the Chapter 8 to Chapter 10 mark (if you've been keeping up with the story while completing a companion's quest). Although, do keep in mind that this is just a general guideline, your commitment scene might unlock a little earlier or later than this!
Committing to a companion stops potential romances with others, and there isn't an option to break up with somebody and get with another companion later. So make sure you really want to be with that person when the opportunity arises.
Remember, you'll know you're rejecting a romance path when the symbol of a broken heart appears in the dialogue options.
How to get a romance scene
Commiting to a companion isn't the end of a romance, as you'll continue to experience some small moments with them after confirming you want to be in a relationship with a companion.
Then, in true BioWare fashion, you get a 'romance scene' near the end of the game, before the final battle. So all you have to do is make sure you've committed to a companion before the end and keep them safe to ensure you experience a naughty night with them. And if you want to make it extra NSFW, remember to toggle nudity on in the settings...
All the best wooing your romance option in Dragon Age: The Veilguard!
