There are seven companions, and you can smooch them all

BioWare has been adamant that changing this game’s name from Dreadwolf to The Veilguard has been in service of better representing the party-focused story it tells. That shift in messaging has been pretty apparent since the cinematic trailer put a spotlight on all seven companions who will join Rook on their quest. We’ve got a breakdown of what we know about all seven characters right here, and some of them have appeared in other Dragon Age media like books and comics. Each of them embodies one of the possible factions Rook can be part of, with the exception of Scout Harding, who debuted as a side character in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Each of them is pansexual and can be romanced by any variation of Rook.
