Former Dragon Age: The Veilguard artist Nick Thornborrow has revealed several narrative sketches detailing everything from Solas' opening ritual to Ghilan'nain's attack on Weisshaupt. But what really stands out is a cut love scene with Lucanis.
For a man with a demon living inside him, Lucanis' romance is surprisingly vanilla. There's an implied sex scene, but it ends with a cuddle on the couch while the two of you talk all night. Thornborrow's art paints a very different picture.
Lucanis' purple wings emerge, his eyes glow, and he kisses Rook passionately (after pointing a weapon at them, of course). Then we move on to the couple kissing in a lake in Treviso, before moving onto a gondola to kiss again in the dirty shadow of a tunnel. It's much more risky and adventurous than a cuddle at home.
Fans are going crazy over the discarded romantic scene
Fans are already agreeing that this discarded Lucanis romantic scene is much better than the one we got, with one commenter even arguing that it should have been saved for when Rook and Lucanis left for the party.
“This is the second time BioWare has stolen a lake sex scene with my chosen romance, which isn't much but it's weird that it happened twice,” one Reddit user wrote.
“We could have fucked in a lake, WHAT THE FUCK BIOWARE,” reads one comment, a little more passionate.
It's a shame that Lucanis' romance is so basic, but the community is already feeling very inspired by these new sketches, so get ready for a wave of spicier fan-fic and fan art down the riverfront.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard is the long-awaited fourth game in BioWare's fantasy role-playing game series formerly known as Dragon Age: Dreadwolf. A direct sequel to Inquisition, it focuses on red lyrium and Solas, the aforementioned Dread Wolf.
