As a fellow spiteful gamer, I am here to give you a way of blocking the background romance. I didn’t finish the game yet so I can’t be 100% sure about this, but I read that to block the background romance from happening you should just never put those companions together in the party when you go exploring and it will never progress.
Oh, this is 100% happening. Neve has been benched since Inner Demons and I realized what was going on lol When I have a mandatory Neve mission, someone else takes Lucanis’ (almost) permanent spot on my squad to keep them as far away from each other as possible.
I’m more just dreading future playthroughs when I have to hear Spite rubbing it in again with that stupid “charmed” line. I’d almost be satisfied with the option to give Lucanis a bop in the nose for pulling the “My heart is only for Treviso” crud and then setting up a dessert date for Neve right in front of poor Rook’s face. Now we’ve both got tears in our eyes, **bleep**.
Edit: I got bleeped for a word that is basically like 6th grade bully level of mean, but I’m leaving it so everyone can fill in their own preferred word.
