Taash

Taash, a mighty qunari warrior, joins the team a few chapters in. Known for her fascination with dragons, she is an experienced hunter of these creatures, wielding powerful axes and possessing the ability to breathe fire.

How Does the Romance System Work in Dragon Age: The Veilguard?

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, romance is implemented through a flexible, inclusive approach: each of the seven companions is available for romantic relationships, regardless of the race or gender of the protagonist.

All characters are pansexual, meaning any player can engage in romance with them. However, unlike the "playersexual" approach (where NPCs change their orientation based on the player's character), companions in The Veilguard have their own personalities and stories that impact their romance, making each relationship unique and authentic.

Romantic relationships in The Veilguard are guided by an approval system, similar to previous Dragon Age games, where players build relationships by supporting a companion's values through dialogues, quests, and gifts.

The player can interact with companions at the base and gain approval by completing their personal tasks. If the player delays romance, companions may start developing romantic feelings for each other, adding a new dimension to interpersonal relationships and the possibility of polyamory.

Each romanceable character has a unique story and background, from the dwarf scout Lace Harding (known from Dragon Age: Inquisition) to newcomers like Taash and Emmrich with his skeletal companion. These diverse characters add depth to the story and enhance replayability.
