A new BioWare game is out, which means that love is in the air. Dragon Age: The Veilguard has seven companions, and you can romance any one of them. This all culminates in a romantic scene between protagonist Rook and their paramour, and they’re…mostly fine. I was initially caught a bit off-guard by how tame most of the love scenes are in The Veilguard, until I remembered that this series has rarely been as spicy as its sci-fi sibling, Mass Effect (and even that depends on which game you’re talking about). In Dragon Age II, for instance, you’d get some heavy petting and making out, but it would cut to black before you saw anything that would have to be blurred out on public television. Inquisition had more nudity, but the actual deed still tended to be behind a black screen. But the emotional core of each scene still rings true, and that’s what counts, right?
All that being said, not all of?The Veilguard’s love scenes are made equal, and we’re going to rank all seven of them right here and now. If you haven’t finished the game yet, avert your eyes, because there are spoilers ahead.
