Lucanis romance bug after Act 1 decision

Because it's DEFINITELY a bug that lucanis is perma-locked out of romance if you don't save Treviso, while you get to still romance neve eventually for the EQUAL and opposite decision? Especially while not telling us so, with text simply saying that growing the relationship will progress slower after being hardened (the SAME thing it says for neve's romance, which is still possible while lucanis' isn't as far as anyone has been able to discover) 

EA wouldn't punish one of the romance options that would be predominantly chosen by women while most male players get to save a city AND get the girl. As well as having a romance that completely locks you out of the best ending if you pursue it, when NO OTHER companion romance is tethered to a big plot decision like that.

    completely agree with you, im going through a save minrathous + trying to romance lucanis run and doing my best to hopefully regain his trust fully and be able to romance him still. I PRAY that this is just a bug or it just takes a bit more time bc it makes 0 sense to lock lucanis while nevemancers still get to pursue her. it would be incredibly unfair if that were the case. i just saw on reddit that someone in late game was unable to unlock lucanis’ hero of the veilguard after doing everything for him and his quests in a minrathous save run. definitely smells like a bug

      Definitely tell us how you fare, I want to do a similar (save Minrathous & romance Lucanis) run. There's weird conflicting info floating around, I've seen it mentioned that you should also get Treviso strengthened to two stars beforehand and that can still be a good ending? Some people saying it's harder to romance, some that you'll be locked out of a specific quest you need...

      I like that it's a new game, it's exciting to figure this stuff out, but I don't want to waste hours on what might be a bug or a decision with unintended consequences. It sucks bc saving Minrathous makes the most sense for my current Rook (Shadow Dragon, so kind of sworn to this thing, and while it has more defenders, Minrathous is strategically more significant bc of the Venatori presence), and Lucanis is the romance option that sounds the most interesting by far

    I just made a post about this! I don’t think it’s that, but I might be wrong. I’m pretty sure his Bidding Farewell companion quest from Act 1 is not triggering as complete. Can anyone else verify this. I have checked both my character saves and neither marked the quest as complete.

    It absolutely does feel like bug. And I am lost... I want the best ending but I also want to romance Lucanis

      Hi! Thank you for your reply, however I'm not seeing more info on this particular problem, only that Lucanis' introduction quest is not bugged and not supposed to show up in the quest journal.

      We were wanting to know if the player is locked out of Lucanis' romance path if they chose to help Minrathous at the end of A Warden's Best Friend quest? And if so, is it an intended consequence or a bug? Thanks!

    Agree, I really hope it's a bug and it gets fixed!

    It makes even less sense that if you don't romance him, he romances Neve after. Like how is he so angry at you for choosing Minrathous and then proceeds to date Neve? Does he just hate Rook? Especially if I'm making a Shadow Dragon, if he forgives her for going for her hometown and faction, why not the Rook? Makes no sense on the narrative.

    But also, it just seems unfair, plus we have no warning in advance that his is going to be locked against hers being possible. If he wouldn't forgive, why make this choice? Why not make it equal? :(
