Summary
Dragon Age: The Veilguardhasa total of seven romancesfor players to pursue. UnlikeDragon Age: Inquisition, where players were able to not only flirt but also romance non-companion NPCs, players were unable to fall in love with any other characters other than the members of the Veilguard in the latestDragon Agetitle.
Although seven may seem like quite a few options for interesting characters, some players still wish that the other NPCs they encountered during their adventure inDragon Age: The Veilguardwere romantically available, too. These are the NPCs that players wish were also romanceable inVeilguard.
8Elek Tavor
A Quick-Mouthed Thread
Elek is a member of the crime organization that makes their home in Dock Town. The players first meet him while completing various outings and quests with Neve, though some gamers wish that they could spend more time with this high-ranking member of the Threads alone.
Even as part of an organization that may be considered unlawful, the Threads want nothing else but to get their territory back from the Venatori, and Elek is one of those members that wants to see his group’s power return. When interacting with Elek, the player may feel as if this character is somewhat flirting with them, but Rook can never flirt back. However, this could be for the best, as Elek may simply be scamming the player’s heart.
7Strife
There Needed To Be More Old Men To Romance
Out of the seven companions, Emmrich is the only older character option for players to romance inDragon Age: The Veilguard. Besides this romance, there is another older gentleman on the market for love, and that is the Veil Jumper Strife, but players themselves are unable to pursue him.
If Emmrich is allowed to get into a relationship with Strife, then the player should also be allowed to win over this Veil Jumper’s heart. Besides his extraordinary voice, Strife is shown throughout the game to be able to hold his own, and he could also being an intriguing option for anyone who has readTevinter NightsorThe Missing.
6Rana Savas
The Templar With A Solid Code
Alongside Elek in Dock Town, another NPC who some players wish they could’ve gotten to know more intimately is Rana Savas. She is another character that players will meet alongside Neve, though a lot sooner than Elek, due to meeting Rana for the first time while doing the first main quest on the streets of Dock Town.
Rana is very similar to Neve in her motivations for protecting Dock Town and is one of the non-corrupt members of the Templar order in Tevinter. Many players yearn to learn more about Rana and wish they could’ve explored her character more through her own quests, which could have led to romance.
5Irelin
A Veil Jumper With A Lot Of Potential
Strife isn’t the only leader of the Veil Jumpers who players wish they could’ve flirted with and potentially romanced, as Irelin is another character from theDragon Agefranchise books that makes an appearance inDragon Age: The Veilguard.
She is shown to be incredibly caring for the character Bellara, witha potential past romancebetween them being somewhat mentioned, though that doesn’t mean Irelin is off the board of a potential fling or even something serious. From the few moments she appears inVeilguard, some players wish they could’ve had more and would have liked to get to know her away from the Veil Jumpers.
4Tarquin
Just A Regular Member Of The Shadow Dragons
Returning to Minrathous, another NPC who players truly wished was a romance option for them was the character of Tarquin. Both him and the Viper are the main contacts that the player talks to while interacting withthe Shadow Dragons inVeilguard, and although Tarquin – or the Viper – didn’t appear in any pastDragon Agecontent, they have managed to secure themselves in the heart of many players.
Tarquin doesn’t have any magic, which makes him quite the regular guy within the Shadow Dragons, as well as also being a member of the Templars, though many forget he even exists. This interesting backstory has so much potential for Tarquin not only as a friend to the player, but perhaps even a romantic partner. If he was available romantically, players could perhaps explore ways of making Tarquin feel like a somebody, especially to Rook.
3Illario Dellamorte
The More Flirtatious Member Of The Dellamorte Family
There are plenty ofhandsome and beautiful Antivan Crowsthat players have fallen in love with throughout their adventure across not only theDragon Agegames but also the other media created by the writers of the franchise.
InDragon Age: The Veilguard, there are multiple NPC candidates that would’ve made great romance options, with the flirt of the Dellamorte family being a perfect example. Ignoring Illario’s connection to the story ofVeilguard, Illario has always been seen as the charmer, with many players enjoying his appearance and wishing they could’ve fallen in love with this cousin instead of Lucanis. Even with the story inVeilguard, this would’ve made an interesting romance.
2Solas
Falling In Love With The Man In The Player’s Head
There is a complexity to Solas being a romance option inDragon Age: The Veilguard.Firstly, Solas was already a romance option for players inDragon Age: Inquisition, with this romance playing a unique role inVeilguardfor those that chose to fall in love with him. Secondly, Solas is stuck in the player’s head for the majority of the game, which makes falling in love with him a little difficult.
However, even with these things going on in a player’s head, those that choose not to romance Solas inInquisitioncould potentially see theirRook becoming an accomplice to Solas' planswhile also falling in love with him inVeilguard.
1Andarateia Cantori
Some Players Wish To Be Trapped In Her Talons
The hot Crows continue with Teia being another NPC who players would do anything to have a romance with. She even appears to flirt with Rook when they bring Lucanis back, though this is only used to reveal Lucanis' interest in the player. It’s a shame that Rook isn’t allowed to flirt back at Teia, who showed a lot of potential throughout the game.
Even though Teia isshown throughout the books and comicsto have a somewhat on and off relationship with Viago, many players are certain that this wouldn’t get in the way of at least having a small fling with Teia in between the chaotic events that transpire inDragon Age: The Veilguard.
