this romance it the best in the game :) like someone said in the comments, "he's one of the bright spots in the game" and i couldn't agree more. Emmrich himself doesn't irritate me like some of the companions, he has a pretty good writing without cringy dialogues. also he's the best companion. such a sweet and distinguished gentleman
ok ive also watched the male version of this romance and let me tell you..... the voice actress for female rook absolutely EATS up this romance here 😤 its just so good
I love this romance so much. The shared nerding out over mourn watch details. The magic butterflies and the glow of the Fade. Dates in the cemetary. Introducing yourself to his dead parents. Making out in the graveyard. The necromancer who's afraid to die. The shared weird interest in corpses. The shared love for a skeleton son. The pride when Manfred says his first words. The "he has your eyes". Him reaching through the Fade to bring you back. Spending the night together in a coffin. It's simply brilliant. I decorated the entire lighthouse in Mourn Watch style. It's all so weird and wonderful.
I LOVE the Emmrich romance, one of the bright spots of the game. However, one thing that disappointed me is that we don't get a gathering afterwards like in Inquisition. While Bioware doesn't intend to do any DLC, they could at least add a proper epilogue (if they won't fix other stuff that needs fixing). If Larian can realize the wisdom of adding an epilogue to BG3, if other studios can go back and make major fixes to even broken games (see: Cyberpunk 2077), then if Bioware wants to sell their next game, they need to do more than basic patches.
Thank you for being so thorough when selecting your dialogue choices, a lot of people seem to be pretty bare bones with it and miss out on the background/class-specific options. It's neat to see the differences
Hence why I feel the writing in this game has gotten a bad rap!!! There’s some amazing emotional points in all the romances that are original specific and gosh dang it!!!! They’re so amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️
You know, when Ghilan'nain mentioned that she wanted Emmrich as a test subject, I literally felt so much horror and anger. Like, it felt so personal that after we've had our first kiss, our love immediately showed how vulnerable it made you (Rook AND the player ahaha)
Emmrich is the only companion in Veilguard that I actually like. I just want to bake cookies with him while we animate corpses together. It is a strange emotion...but it works :).
The up and down look he gives Rook after their first kiss gives me tingles. But I feel the lich option has a much more romantic dialogue between the two. Whereas the mortal life option is more wholesome.
Watching this out of Curiosity as currently been romancing Emmrich with more of the heroic background types like Shadow Dragon and Grey Warden, since he talked about never having adventures like he dreamt of or read of, think it's a fun balancing act. Absolutely had a nice laugh at Harding calling Rook out for sounding way more sophisticated and fancy when talking Mourn Watch. I love that Rook's reaction is to try to drop back to the more informal speech I'm sure everyone else is used to lol (also the accent and voice drop with it).
@@Ursuspaprikasmine too! If Emmrich went and apotheosized to Lichdom, my Watcher would follow. He would still call her Rook in private, she would call him Bishop. Two chess pieces in the great chess game of the Cosmos.
Oh! Okay! I was bummed they were referring to Emmerich as a Necromancer instead of Mortalitasi, but if there's a storytelling reason that's better. Feels less like something was forgotten and is actually being explained better, like when Dorian talked about Tevinter in DA:I.
Thank you for posting. He’s not a bad character but he’s the last one I would want to put the effort into romancing on my playthroughs. Wish romance and companionship was more involved in this game.
ty for this, I regrettably chose to romance Harding instead, and I can't face playing the entire game again just to romance Emmrich (Though he'd certainly be worth it!) so this is very helpful
I would never romance Emmrich but I LOVE how sweet and attentive he is with Rook. Also hearing him call you "Dearest" and "Darling" with that accent is just....yes
The writing was just w/e for this game. Most of it was a miss for me-There are good moments for sure like the combat, even if it gets repetitive after abit but that's how all dragon age games are tbh. Emmrich was my favorite thing and probably the best thing in veilguard
Emmerick is Vincent Price 2.0....Not a bad comparison. Rook and Emmerick are the best romance in this romance simulator....Lucanis is like right there. I just wish they had put in as much effort. Lucanis deserved more depth to his romance.
Emmrich is one of the best romances in the game, outside of Davrin and Harding. It makes me so upset that the rest of the romances, especially Lucanis and Neve, were so weak in comparison. I also think that’s just the general dissatisfaction I had with the romances compared to previous games. This is how’d I’d rank them based on the videos I’ve seen, the writing, and my own play through. 1) Emmrich 2) Davrin 3) Harding 4) Bellara 5) Neve 6) Taash 7) Lucanis
@wyvernhattori1811 Unsure sorry! There is likely some difference, but it wouldn't be alot. There is more noticeable difference if you aren't Mourn Watch
Yes, I’m a Reaper Mourn Watcher and I’m getting the same. I suspect that all Mourn Watchers are able to do magic in some capacity, but for whatever reason, end up commuting to martial arts over mage craft in their duties. I say this because my Rook mentions taking hex craft lessons and doing simple resurrections despite being a Warrior.
when bioware said they were making a "gentleman necromancer" they really made a GENTLEMAN necromancer
Veilguard romances were so void of... romance , but emmrichs stands out as the best. So sweet
I love your rook so much, she's like the Morticia to his Gomez 💞
@@SatoUmiShika ahh thank you! she ended up just being so made for him in a 100 different ways
'hes got your eyes...' BYE THIS IS THE BEST 💗😭😭😭😭

I wish we could kiss him more and whenever we want
Same.. I just want to give him kisses and just telling him he has nothing to worry about 🥲
Yeah bg3 has spoiled me in that regard
@@SimsbyShiveria agreed!!!
@@solaranceshiro1643 saw someone say they'd pay for a dlc that added only that although it's highway robbery and I agree
@ too bad from what I heard, we can only dream for a dlc cuz it ain’t happening 🥲

Is my favorite romance of all the games ❤

I totally agree. It was just like, Okay, they won, world's saved, the end.
Romantic, gothic, emotional. Gotta love Emmrich ❤

By far best romance in Veilguard.
Man, your Rook is giving Morticia vibes. Very on brand for the Mournwatch. Well done!
@dmsviola1 thank you 🙏
Hold up... This is just the Addams family in Dragon Age.
I _love_ that! They even have a Thing. It's literally perfect!
I may he not a fan of Veilguard. But this path seems more wholesome to me, considering he’s a necromancer ☠️ ❤
You cant spell necromancer without romance

Manfred Hugging Emmericj is everything
If you choose to romance him and let him go through lichdom I wish it was possible for her to go through it as well if she's a mourn watcher
@@sarahcline8488 Agreeeed
In my own personal headcanon that’s exactly what happens post game
@@Ursuspaprikasmine too! If Emmrich went and apotheosized to Lichdom, my Watcher would follow. He would still call her Rook in private, she would call him Bishop. Two chess pieces in the great chess game of the Cosmos.
The "don't start", Emmrich says to Manfred has me cracking up every time! I love peepaw so much
I may be more into Lucanis, but Emmrich is so damn cute he’s easily my number 2 romance, still he’s my favorite companion in whole game 😂
Lol Rook really said that’s OUR son now!

I love that the tattoo there makes that hair style look like it has a widows peak.
Why is Emmrich the only well written character in this game? I might buy it just for him lol
Honestly it's worth it for him. He's in my top 3 favorite characters in the whole series
He's the best thing about Veilguard. Actually one of my top 3 faves from Dragon Age.
Both mortal and lich romances are great but lich Emmrich calling Rook ‘my love’ is everything.
I love gow you made your Rook. Apart from the attire, she gives somewhat of Morticia Addams or Vampira vibes.
Thank you for posting. He’s not a bad character but he’s the last one I would want to put the effort into romancing on my playthroughs. Wish romance and companionship was more involved in this game.
Bone daddy putting the romance in necromancer 😂❤
OMG your Rook is so so so beautiful, I was looking only at her this whole time
@@americanrobin1528 she is my one and only love 😭
Obsessed with this romance. Game best, series favorite by miles. Thank you for your work!
My favorite romance of the DA saga ❤
ty for this, I regrettably chose to romance Harding instead, and I can't face playing the entire game again just to romance Emmrich (Though he'd certainly be worth it!) so this is very helpful
I would never romance Emmrich but I LOVE how sweet and attentive he is with Rook. Also hearing him call you "Dearest" and "Darling" with that accent is just....yes
I always go for neve because she is queen but i think emmrich romance is so sweet. I think neve and emmrich romances are sugar. Lol ❤

This is my favorite channel 😍 ❤️ 💓 💛 💕 😭
Emmerick is Vincent Price 2.0....Not a bad comparison. Rook and Emmerick are the best romance in this romance simulator....Lucanis is like right there. I just wish they had put in as much effort. Lucanis deserved more depth to his romance.
He looks better than Vincent Price
Where can I get the armor at I really like the colors and the looks

Are the conversations the same with a mourn watch Rook who isn't a mage?

The are a bit different.
What’s the armour your rook wears??
@@rebeccawilliams866 Blood Dragon Armour
as well as other romance... they are not too good. But better than the others on my opinion if you are a Mourn watcher.
Manfred and neve! 😂
