I'm sorry to tell you Mary Kirby thought she did a thing but she in fact did not. That or ea deleted a bunch of the stuff she wrote for Lucanis, but I doubt it. She was fired after she finished writing and the way she talks about it seems like she genuinely thought she wrote a steamy romance.

The romances in datv are very lacking imho. I'm on my third playthrough, First romanced Emmrich (who is actually very sweet and well written). Then Lucanis, which is great but feels very barren and unfinished. And then Neve, which was decent and I enjoyed it but I wanted more.

I expected the rest to be in the range of those three but after watching them on youtube I fear only Emmrich and Davrin have a full and well written romance. The rest is very safe and limited, like they had to rush to finish writing it. I'm actually very sad about it.

That is not to say there aren't any cute and neat moments though. But bioware did not deliver in the romance department as they promised in all those promo posts etc. They said romance was a main focus and they just straight up lied imho.

Oh that's interesting! I haven't finished the game yet, so maybe it still picks up, but so far it's felt a little bit lackluster in the romance department. There have definitely been cute and sweet moments so far, just lacking any real intimacy.

So I finished Lucanis' personal quest, locked in the romance and he is telling everyone Rook and him are a thing (yay)... But they haven't even kissed yet! Like not even a firm handshake...
