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.

    Nice that they let us know, still upsetting that it’s apparently a personal decision since he “no longer has time for a romance with you” but will have for Neve. To see this pop-up and then watch him romance her will be still a punch in the face, but alright. If it wasn’t for this, I’d respect this decision more to be honest.

    Will just wait for a mod, and play a different BG to save Treviso and not lose my SD experience.

    I’m so confused, it feels like romancing Lucanis is nearly impossible. Really challenging.

    Locking ppl out of the romance is understandable (however a bad choice imo) but makes no sense that he’d pursue a relationship with Neve lmao

    Commenting because not only am I having the issue of "Bidding Farewell" disappearing (on Steam/PC), but I also am not having other subsequent cutscenes trigger with him, so both friendship and romance routes with him are bugged out. For instance, when Spite tries to leave through the eluvian in Lucanis's body while he sleeps, I only get one cutscene when there's supposed to be a second one where you follow up with him.

    This is the case for all of my playthroughs even after restarting the game and validating save files. It really sucks because Lucanis is my favorite and I can't even make friends with him. :(

  • This bug affected me too. Was looking forward to Lucanis romance but my first play through was ruined. I had Lucanis in my party the entire time and I did every companion quest that was offered. Was able to do up to blood bath. After that no other quests with Lucanis triggered and I was never able to lock in a romance with him.  And was never able to get him to “hero” status. What a huge disappointment.
