Wait, so we don't choose in which order we recruit companions? Not the ladies at least. Yeah, i know that we recruit Bellara right after the prologue, but i hope that after that we have more freedom to choose whom to recruit next.

Unfortunately for Jennica, supposedly Taash is recruited last.

I'm mildly annoyed by how we are locked into recruiting only girls for a long chunk of game. Most of the time BioWare games are more balanced with initial companions.

I heard people who played the game in alpha (not the previews) can't remember what name they have says they barely knew about Taash because they got her last but they were saying because they weren't interested in her? And more into Emdude. I'm not sure we have to recruit companions in a specific order after the first 3 ?

You're always given a default 3 to start. It would track that we choose between one of Antiva (Lucanis), Rivain (Taash), Anderfels (Davrin), and Nevarra (Emmrich) to visit after the prologue.
Hmm this really does sound similar to ME2.

I'd say you can probably try to recruit Taash, but it'll be a high level.

Because the sooner I meet a character in game, the highter is the chance that I end up liking them. I love the "we were together from the beginning of this adventure" thing. A big reason I romanced Sols first in DAI, Alistair in DAO, and Kaidan in ME1 was because they were the first male companions I had in the team. It's a big preference of mine.

I hope you're right and that we'll have more freedom in recruiting later on. I'd be really annoyed to have to recruit everyone at the same time, with the same partners.

I'm not sure we have to recruit companions in a specific order after the first 3 ? There's always an 'it depends' isn't there. I found Cole suffered a little in his visibility in my party given that he's effectively un-recruitable until Skyhold. And I would have loved more of Legion in ME2 because you're then on the gallop to the Collector Base.

Brenon Holmes BrenonHolmes We're showing Dragon Age at #TGS2024 - exciting! - It looks like attendees are getting some hands-on time over there. That is what i have hoped. This could get them more fans and good feedback.

Credit to cozyghoul on reddit for making this, it might be most emblematic of (my, anyway) emotional state toward Veilguard marketing ever seen:
Why the last trailer had mixed reception? 3 reasons: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.

I really was waiting for this game , all the stuff showed had me hyped... until I've seen that what we can choose between the Inquisition choices is limited to only 3 options. I can get behind of Inquisition disbanded or honor guard, redeem or kill Solas ... but for my Inquisitors who romanced Cullen and Cassandra? I get the point of having the Sollavelan closure, but what if an Inquisitor who romanced someone else? We get to have a convo with Solas about it before slapping him 🤣 ? At this point I will wait to buy the game . The hype went down. I've seen many of the comments reflect many of my inner feelings, so I won't delve into why I am so annoyed and angry about the meager 3 choices.

We just don't know what that will look like. For what it's worth, Hawke's romances weren't a lot either.

You might think you are seeing more of the girls because there has been a lot of early game play and the first companions to be recruited are Harding, Neve and Bellara. The first conversations at the Lighthouse also involves them. Lucanis is next in line because they show him immediately after his recruitment mission talking with Neve and Bellara. I'm not sure of the order thereafter but probably either Emmrich or Davrin. Act 1 is very long so plenty of time to get to know all the companions and do missions with them.It is even a joke among the Devs how John Epler tends to focus on Bellara, the character he wrote. Lucanis has featured a fair bit because his recruitment mission was one of those featured in the game showcase to invited guests. However, we know there is a lot involving the Wardens, which brings Davrin in (I think he compulsory for some of their missions) and there the Grand Necropolis features in a lot of screen shots, so plenty to do with Emmrich. Unless they start showing even more spoilers before release, I think they were keeping the other companions under wraps because they want to leave something for us to discover on our own. It's not just the content, tho... I see how the devs posts are all about how much they love the gals (expecially Bellara, She already smell of writer pet) but very little talk about the guys. I've see the "Taash romance is the most spicy!" and how Hepler can't stop talking about Bellara, Harding and Neve are everywhere, while about Lucanis aside the "short king" and the "bisexual disaster" at the beginning, I've seen little talk from the devs. Is just a feeling I get that the devs are much more in love with the gals than with the guys. not really. They have talked a lot about Lucanis and Emmrich while at the same time they have shown off one of Davrin's missions.

They have also spoke a lot about Davrin, because of Assan.

Not great that you can’t pick the order you get the companions. All female and also mage heavy. Normally I would like a mage heavy team, but not with Veilguard’s combat. Also can’t stand Bellara. Wish I had the option to not recruit her. I liked how BG3 did it where you got most of the companions at the start, so you could take the mix of characters you liked best. As far as i know BG3 doesn't do it any different all Companion act 1. The only difference is that you can ignor them.

Yeah, i know that we recruit Bellara right after the prologue, but i hope that after that we have more freedom to choose whom to recruit next. We don't know that yet. We have only see the first 3 recrutments: Harding, Neve and Bellara.

That works well for BG3, since everyone fell off the same boat, so to speak. In Veilguard, I expect that we might be collecting companions from across the continent. We have to start the game somewhere, and so some will be available sooner. It's not really clear whether the order of missions will be pre-determined or player-determined. We can only guess.
