Lucanis Dellamorte - Official Companion Thread [Spoilers]

Illario is looking very guilty when it comes to who gave up Lucanis for capture and for killing Caterina after finding out Lucanis wasn't actually dead after all.

I just read that Lucanis romance is very barebones, even when the romance is locked it. That it feels as if you're just buddies who flirt from time to time.

If unromanced, he gets together with Neve and they share more content that Rook and Lucanis. It seems the only kiss you have with him is at the end of Act 3, other than that there is nothing in the whole game.

Could someone confirm whether it's true or not without spoiling much? I'm still in Act 1 and if Lucanis romance is really that lacking, I'll just go with Davrin.

Oh, perhaps that is why I couldn't find a sex scene then. I watched a video that claimed to show his entire character arc, at least up until the end of the Crow personal quest and it was very chaste but sweet in a way.     Davrin looked a really good romance and of course you also get Assan as a bonus.   I wonder if he ends up with anyone else if you don't romance him?  Bellara may be?  Emmrich teams up with Strife of all people if he isn't romanced and we already knew about Taash and Harding.

I liked the fact that it is Neve he gets together with but it would be disappointing if they get more romance content than Rook.   Sounds like the epilogue to Trespasser with Dorian all over again where Bull gets way more screens than the Inquisitor.    Not sure how far you are.   Have you done the big choice yet?   If not, don't read the next bit. 

I just picked up Davrin and when I returned from the quest, I was immediately presented with the Minrathous/Treviso choice - and I hadn't done the Coffee with the Crows companion quest yet!   

Don't expect the major romance scene before some major events in Act 3. The romance's culmination comes basically right before game's culmination.

Hmm, your guides should know better than me but I thought the romance should continue on regardless of the choice but it is just much slower if you don't save Treviso.

As I say, a good indicator would be if you are being given heart icons with respect to anyone else. Or have you never flirted with anyone but Lucanis? If Midnight Tea says the main romance scene isn't until Act 3 then you may have a while to wait.   The critical choice comes some way before the end of Act 1 from what I recall, so you've plenty of time yet for the romance to get locked in.

That's the thing really. It would seem that this is much more like ME2 or even ME1 where you don't get your main romance scene until pretty late on in the game (although I believe it can happen sooner in ME2 if you opt for simply sex with Jack after which she rejects you), unlike previous DA games where it usually occurs somewhere after the equivalent of Act 1. They probably spread it out to give you something to look forward to. Also, you can't change your mind in terms of moving on to someone else (from what I've read) although you can break up with them if you want to. I'm not sure why anyone would want to do that if they can't romance someone else but the option is there.   Also there is no "would you like a massage?" like you get with Zevran.  Nor does Lucanis kiss and tell so far as I know.  So no "have you ever licked a lamppost?" like you get with Alistair concerning your previous sexual experience, although I suppose the innuendo with coffee sort of counts.   Does he talk about previous romances with Neve?

Have you had the interrupted kiss scene yet?   I've noticed this seems to be a feature of every romance that I've seen so far.   Rook and the LI are just about to make contact and then someone or something stops them.     In fact, from what I've seen of them, every romance does seem to follow a fixed formula that makes it rather cookie cutter in the way it develops.   I think DAI did it much better.

Lucanis is big on coffee and there is more than one occasion you have coffee with him. The one where you lock him in is later than the one you mentioned. (I think).   If you didn't get the pop up then it wasn't the lock in one.   They are pretty obvious and hard to miss in this game.

And lots of TLC and coffee! He's really very sweet.
