Dragon Age: The Veilguard romance options – Full list of romantic companions
Who will you swipe right for in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?
Dragon Age: The Veilguard, like its predecessor, is a game in which combat, skills, weapons and magic will help in your fight against the darkspawn.
However, at the risk of sounding twee, it's the companionship along the way that really matters.
And, as expected from a BioWare RPG, the choices we make determine not only the story's outcome, but the type of companionship we have with certain characters.
More to the point, if you want to romance your companions, the choice is there.
So, who are our companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard? And how do we romance them?
Let's take a look.
How many companions are in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?
As we've come to expect from the franchise, Dragon Age: The Veilguard has seven companions.
And while it's usually only two who join you in combat, you can romance all of them.

Full list of Dragon Age: The Veilguard romance options
Now let's take a look at each each of the companions...
Lace Harding
Harding is a rogue dwarf scout, and she is one of the first characters you will meet in Dragon Age: The Veilguard.
She made her debut as a minor character in 2014’s Inquisition, but returns with a more central role in the new game.
Lace Harding is the first companion you'll meet in the game, as she joins you in the prologue.
Neve Gallus
A human mage from the city of Minrathous, Neve is affiliated to an organisation called the Shadow Dragons, which fights against slavery and corruption.
Like Harding, we meet her early on in The Veilguard, when the team seek her support in dealing with the tear in the Veil.
Bellara Lutare
Spirited, creative, quirky; the elf Bellara is one of The Veilguard’s most entertaining characters. She’s also a mage and is affiliated to the Veil Jumpers.
We find her in a forest on the run after stealing an ancient artefact. This is during the In Entropy's Grasp main quest.
Her healing ability in battle is of importance when taking on hordes of demons.
Lucanis Dellamorte
A master assassin of the Antivan Crows, Lucanis is a charming warrior who has a slight problem with a spirit (we’re keeping it light to avoid spoilers).
You'll meet him during the Sea of Blood quest.
He’s also the grandson of Caterina Dellamorte, who was the First Talon of the Antivan Crows.
Davrin
Davrin is an elf of the Grey Wardens who has a particular knack for hunting monsters and training griffins.
You'll meet him during the A Warden's Best Friend quest, as part of the main story.
Emmrich Volkarin
Emmrich Volkarin looks a little like an older Doctor Strange.
He’s a powerful mage specialising in necromancy who is on the geriatric side of life.
You'll meet him in the Where the Dead Must Go mainline quest.
Taash
Having a dragon hunter in your party is particularly useful in The Veilguard.
Taash is a brutish warrior who wields axes and can even breathe fire. She’s the last of the romantic companions we meet in the game, but her entrance to the story is memorable.
You'll meet her in The Dragon Slayer mainline quest.
How does romance work in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?
Striking up a romance with one of your companions in Dragon Age: The Veilguard is fairly easy. Each character in the game has their own series of quests that fleshes out their backstory and personal aims.
Take on these objectives with them and a bond will naturally form with Rook. There are plenty of options to choose the dialogue when speaking with them, so simply select the lines that are flirtatious or suggest more than friendship, not too dissimilar to how this is achieved in Baldur’s Gate 3.
It’s worth noting that every companion in the game will be open to romancing Rook, regardless of sex or race – you just have to strike up a connection.
