Lucanis ACT 1 Companion Quest is Bugged: Bidding Farewell

So I do want to say I have had to start over, I was 30 hours into my first save, because I missed a companion quest and realize they are important for late game. So I decided to just start over.

I’ve been looking into how to romance characters and keeping them alive while trying to stay as spoiler free as possible, but did see about how the choice for Minrathos and Treviso can cause bothe Lucanis and Neve to harden depending on which you choose.

I chose Treviso in my first playthrough and plan to do it on my second because A, I decided to pick being a Crow as a background and B, I wanted to Romance Lucanis. People were saying that if you didn’t pick Treviso it would lock you out but now that I’m back and doing his first couple of companion quests, I realized something.

The Bidding Farewell Companion Quest does NOT trigger as complete. So essentially not only does it lock you of of the Hero status for end game, but I also think it locks you out of the romance as well.

Can anyone confirm to me whether this quest is complete for them? It’s the quest where you go to the little get together for the first Talon. I also checked my old save file and it isn’t marked as a Completed Quest there either.

Yeah I’m probably going to wait until there is an update patch for PS5. This is the second mission bug I’ve found. (A champion wouldn’t trigger on one of the essence quests.) Which is just annoying, while this one breaks a save file completely in term of romance and the ending.

Yeah I’m starting to think it’s not the choice that’s locking people out. Cause honestly that would be screwed up to let people still Romance Neve but not Lucanis depending on the choice.

I think this bug is what’s causing it to happen, and it’s so easy to miss. I flirted with him everytime in my first playthrough but after I got past the Grey Warden quest, nothing else happened.

Yeah his other companion quests added to the log in my first save and this one. This one didn’t log in either
The main reason I went back and started over is because I missed a Quest for Taash and I’m trying to get the best ending. Now in my second save I noticed this, went back to my 30hr save and it didn’t log there either.
I don’t think it’s choosing Minrathous that’s locking people out of his romance, I honestly think it’s this but I could be wrong. Either way it is an ending, romance, and achievement breaking bug and BioWare NEEDS to patch it.

I'm also in the same boat. 27 hrs in and was wondering why I could progress romantically with other characters but not Lucanis. I found this thread, checked it, and bidding farewell is missing from my completed quests list. It doesn't even show up as failed.
I also saved Treviso knowing that lock-out was possible so I'm disappointed that this bug happened anyway, but I will try repairing the game, maybe going back, and see what happens...

Yeah I just did the quest, A Slow Poison, before just to see if it would trigger something and it did not. I also tried not having him the party when I triggered the convo, that also didn’t work.

I'm only responding, not because I have a solution (unfortunately...), but to show that someone else has the same problem you do.
I haven't gone as far as you did, but the quest "bidding farewell" also didn't trigger as completed. Worse, once done, I'm prompted to select a new quest and "bidding farewell" doesn't appear anywhere on the quest log - as if it never even existed. Hope someone finds a solution :')
