The Veilguard mod allows you to love Lucanis hard

Early game spoilers for Dragon Age: The Veilguard below

Summary

  • Dragon Age: Veilguard modders made Lucanis lovable no matter what, even if he's hardened.

  • This comes after fans were frustrated that he was the only companion who could block their romance through an in-game choice.

  • The mod works by using dialogue already present in the game files, suggesting that this was once an intended path.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard allows you to connect with every companion, regardless of your character's gender or background. However, you can tinker with any of them if you make a certain decision early in the game in the story.

After recruiting Davrin, you will return to the Lighthouse and be told that dragons are attacking both Treviso and Dock Town. The tower can only be in one place at a time, and whichever place you choose to defend will go away lighter. Since Lucanis and Neve are from Treviso and Dock Town respectively, their perspective changes depending on who is saved, with the one left to fight alone becoming “hardened”.

Veilguard would have been a much stronger game if it broke Dragon Age tradition.

In practice, this means that it will take longer to get their approval in the future and that they will not be able to use support skills in combat. However, for some reason, there is one consequence unique to Lucanis: he will no longer be a romantic choice.

There were also files in the game for an established Lucanis romance, but these remain unused

On Nexus Mods, the Lucanis Romance Project Team has shared their creation, the Harden Lucanis Romance. As the name suggests, it prevents Lucanis from taking you down if Treviso is ruined, strengthening it accordingly.

Curiously, it seems that interrupting the Lucanian love story in this way wasn't always planned. The team says the mod works by using cut content made specifically for a hardened Lucanis romance. We can see some of this in the mod's preview images, with Lucanis' dialogue changing if he is wooed after Dock Town is saved on Treviso.

Of course, this is only useful if you're playing on PC. It doesn't appear that BioWare is interested in adding this route in an official capacity, and we know that there will be no DLC.

Dragon Age: The Veilguard is available on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S.
