Ted has been thinking about PC games and bothering anyone who would listen with his thoughts on them ever since he booted up his sister's copy of Neverwinter Nights on the family computer. He is obsessed with all things CRPG and CRPG-adjacent, but has also covered esports, modding, and rare game collecting.
As per BioWare tradition, Dragon Age: The Veilguard will let you entangle yourself in hot, unprofessional workplace relationships with your colleagues at Veilguard Inc. The studio is also building on two lesser-discussed aspects of its previous games', independent of the player, and, as hinted at in a recent Veilguard preview event, you'll be able to help or hinder those budding dalliances.
Corinne Busche, game director on The Veilguard, explained how this bolsters that"found family" fantasy BioWare companions have always been so good at evoking:"We've all been around that friend: They've fallen in love with someone, you get to experience that joy, that new relationship energy they're going through, and to be able to experience that and see that manifest amongst your companions, in many ways it's as joyous and as exciting as your own relationships.
Busche alluded to the potential for our own intervention into these relationships in response to a question about whether or not we'd be able to sabotage those companion romances:"I don't want to spoil anything," Busche cautioned,"but they might come to you for advice, and I can't guarantee you'll give them good advice."
There are hints to how it might play out in The Veilguard from previous BioWare games: Garrus and Tali could get together in Mass Effect 3, but the really interesting pair was Aerie and Haer'Dalis in Baldur's Gate 2. Proto-Zevran elf lech Haer'Dalis would pursue goody two shoes wingless winged elf Aerie regardless of the player's actions, potentially leading to a love triangle confrontation if you romanced Aerie yourself. It made for some unique party dynamics.
