I have not finished the romance yet, just came here to experience it once more (won't spoiler myself with the rest of the romance)... but damn this part was already everything I needed.
Somebody mentioned how for the scene at 53:54 you should select another drink on the café scene so that when he makes it it actually feels special. Since Lucanis always drinks coffee, him making chocolate or tea at least changes the dessert AND it’s YOUR favourite drink not just his. More special!
@@iAmAurelie honestly all of the options are so much fun! just did hot chocolate for the first time today and him joking about how he used to love it ~as a child~ made me laugh so hard!! he's so sweet🥹🫶 and yeah the different desserts is such a nice detail!
Don't get me wrong the romance is goood with my boy Lucanis. But after BG3 this feels... inadequate to say at least. I hope they fix this with a patch or DLC.
This really isn't as terrible of a romance as people make it out to be. Yes, it could be better but there's some really good tension in some interactions.
Ok so does it take awhile to get Lucanis to romance you back? I've been doing flirt options, taking him on missions, saved Treviso. But I can't seem to talk to him personally and I'm pretty well into the game... Did I do something ?
Pairs well with Coffee? Is this a bug? I thought your Rook liked Tea? I REALLY like the szene in Rooks room when he shields Rook with his wings That's so awesome and I Totally agree with Taash! He really should take Rook flying
@@nayriacadera6048 lmao no it's on me! the coffee clip is from my original playthrough, the tea is from a replay where i wanted to see what he said if she said tea😭😭
@@amv_lemons Thank you ! And OMG; I love lemon tart! (and Tea) The problem with all tjose companions being so attractive? I kinda NEED to re-play the game until I've romanced everyone I adore which would be more ironic? A Crow thats a dwarf or one thats Qunari?
At the first try I did something wrong Because at the final mission a couldn't talk to Lucasnis anymore it was after we found Zara I hope now with your video I know what to do and thank you 🤗👍🏻
planning on doing this romance next so far ive done Davrin and Harding sucks i have to let tevinter go to hell if i want to romance lucanis what where they thinking
Lucanis is by far my favorite romance interest in the game (which I haven't played yet), but I can't make sense of some of the scenes in this video (NO hate towards hea, thank you for uploading!). Help me pls? 1) 43:00 why is this sequence included at this point in the game? You are literally in the middle of a conversation. Why not place this sequence at the Lighthouse where it's just Rook and Lucanis? 2) 52:00 English is not my first language, but the way Google translate translated "Spite" is "ill will". If I take this into consideration, the contract between him and Lucanis doesn't make sense to me because it seems like Spite is helping Lucanis (which is opposite to his nature). Also, what does Spite get out of the deal? He's Spite, not Murder. 3) 1:05:00 umm, what? You guys are assassins, no? Why isn't unaliving the traitor assassin an option? That's all the things I didn't quite understand, so let's move onto what I like about the romance 1) Lucanis has a killer aesthetic (pun intended). I just love how he looks and his accent is adorable. 2) 38:00 omg, sir, you have no right being this smooth (but please continue). 3) He's so caring. He buys stuff for the team and he pays special attention to you (favorite drink and all). 4) 1:08:22 the following sequence is just adorable. His face when Rook jokes about him having coffee with his inner demon is just perfect. 5) 1:14:00 he looks so shaken up it shattered a piece of my heart. Hasn't the poor guy been through enough?! 6) 1:13:30 this entire sequence is peak. I loved how Rook questioned whether or not she got out of the Fade and how Lucanis comforted her by saying "You're here. You're really here." Thank you for coming to my TED talk (and please be nice :) )
hi thanks for watching! 😄 I don't have any good reason for that fade scene being in the middle of that conversation other than it's very funny when they snap out of it in front of Teia and Viago hahaha. In terms of Spite- I think the relationship between a demon/spirit and their host is ??? lore wise. Honestly no one knows what's going on. I think though that the only way for both Lucanis and Spite to get what they want they needed something to agree on, and in this case my Rook suggested saving Caterina. I get what you mean about all of this doesn't seem very "spiteful" though lol. I'm assuming they affect each other, and Lucanis' love for his family (and Rook🤭) influences Spite. Maybe kind if inspires Spite to become more like whatever type of spirit it was before. But again, who knows lol this is just me speculating. Lastly, I don't know why that wasn't an option but I feel like Lucanis would disapprove and not want to do it if you suggested it. Illario is the closest thing he had to a brother, and besides him Caterina is his only family. He probably would never agree to anything worse than imprisoning him because of that. The crows are generally "softer" in this game than before too; like it's been 20 years since Origins and in addition there has probably been a shift within due to the events of the short story from Tevinter Nights where 4/8 talons were murdered. I picked not imprisoning Illario because I read his and Lucanis' story from there too and have a soft spot for him🤪 And as Lucanis said, there's "nowhere he could go to outrun being a traitor crow, brought down in front of everyone" ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
@@MegWelter which one? the last one is plumage of the mad crow. i also used executioners mantle (crow mage armor) a lot, and another of the crow armors from the crow vendor that i don't remember the name of. the very beginning is the deluxe armor! ☺️
What's preventing me from buying this is that it feels too removed from the rest of the franchise when it isn't supposed to be. They could've utilized the keep.
They screwed some of the lore and there's no mention of anything from the 1st 2 games and almost nothing from inquisition beyond the inquisitor. I played it. There were a few good scenes but there are no true choices. Every dialogue option is a variation of the same exact thing.
@@Fenrispro They do a few times. I don't remember the exact conversation but Lucanis says the Crows don't take contracts in Ferelden anymore because of what happened iin DAO. Also later they mention that house Arainai makes trouble in every house meeting.
@@theesper7404 My brother in christ it's been 20+ years in game since the first game and 10 since inquisition, you want random people going around parroting on how grateful they are someone saved some werewolves or whatever? There's a world ending event going on and people still hammering on how they want choices that don't even matter on the part of the world the game takes place to be mentioned. Also no true choices? Two cities can get completely fucked depending on what you pick with vendors and important story characters dying or getting hurt or comps getting hardened? Did you actually "play" for more than 2 hours?
The bad thing about this romance is Neve and Lucanis interactions, they start flirting all the time after the atack of corrupt dragons, even if you take a romance with any of them. Its to awkward.
I see people saying this but I haven't heard any dialogue like that and I'm confused if I've missed it or if I just see their interactions as flirtatious. They are sarcastic and playful but that's just neve's personality and Lucanis is curious and sweet to all characters.
@@siobhanhenry9094 It happens a lot if you have them both constantly in the party, when you return to the lighthouse you can see them together many more times than usual and they say things more and more insinuated. The same goes for Taash and Harding even if you are making progress with one of them. Harding flirts a lot with Taash. Taash also likes Harding and eventually asks you for advice on how to court her. That dynamic only happens in those two couples. But it is a little awkward if you want to have a romance with one of them to see them trying with someone else. The personality type of the characters greatly influences the way they flirt with others. You may not perceive it as flirting in your mind. You have to understand the way a character behaves to realize the intention of their comment.
@@siobhanhenry9094 my thoughts exactly! i'm doing an emmrich romance at the moment, and other than lucanis making neve's favourite dessert at one point there's barely anything romantic between them. their banter (thus far for me, at least) can easily be seen as just platonic.
@@hea6399 I watched a video of all their banter and I found that dessert line was sort of sweet but could just be kind and one other line where Lucanis says Neve was in his head when you do the spite thing and ends it with something like "that's not the only time I think of you" and that was it. That was near end game if neither were romanced by rook too. So I'm just confused. That's a whole two dialogues which i think both don't happen if you romance either of them lol
I feel like that with every romance. "Why didn't they make him hold her hand? Why didn't they place them closer when they kiss? Why doesn't he stroke her cheek right there? Why isn't he looking at her" Lol I know just how to make this game perfect, I just don't have the actual skills
I do not dislike Lucanis...which is a great compliment from me because I cannot stand every other companion in The Veilguard, except for Emmrich. However we've already had a Crow join our party once 20 years ago. An elven one. A better one. Name was Zevran. Lucanis does not hold up next to Zevran. Not even close. So Lucanis gives me very "meh...had it before; enjoyed it better" kind of vibes. Still, he is the second best companion we get in the Veilguard.
37:59 "This isn't a good idea".
No, this is a good idea. A great idea. The best idea. Is it hot in here?
38:00 is the sexiest scene BioWare has ever done, and they don't even kiss! I like to think Spite was acting a fool and that's why he stopped.
my heart was beating so fast at that part
You're right. just wish there was a follow up scene... Where we talk about what happened.
“ Are you going to EART HER?? LUCANIS LET ME HAVE A BITE OF ROOK TOO" lolol
Why no mentions of Zev? so many of us really wanted that or hope for cameo
I have not finished the romance yet, just came here to experience it once more (won't spoiler myself with the rest of the romance)... but damn this part was already everything I needed.
31:26 that growl as he says "Rook" just does something for me.
44:19 the references to dao and inquisition 😂
Yes 😂
Mouse was the circle in Origin, right? What was it about spiders?
Your character looks pretty good. Excellent job on her.

Notice Zara called Illario Amatus. Thats the same pet name Dorian calls the male inquisitor when romanced or Iron Bull when he romances him
Viago's comments during Illario fight are everything. He's such a big brother to Crow Rook 💕
That was genuinely cute x3
I loved that commentary.
Viago is my boi! Best NPC in the game.
Finally. I needed that, thank you!!!
Finally someone who drinks tea! 😉🤣 Thanks for the video 😊
But dessert is for coffee 😅 So my search continues 😅😅😅
i'm searching the exact same thing xDDD

Perfect moonwalk. 😂
When I play this I am going to romance Lucanis. Thank you for this.
Try not to take Neve around with you if you do! It’ll only hurt more hahaha
I will try not to take Neve around with me. I was thinking of taking Emmrich. They have funny banter together.
The WINGS!!
Don't get me wrong the romance is goood with my boy Lucanis. But after BG3 this feels... inadequate to say at least. I hope they fix this with a patch or DLC.
