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 whi...

Unfortunately I think the romance being locked out is intended. I have 2 rooks, one a shadow dragon romancing Lucanis, the other a warden romancing Neve. Both of them completed all companion quests for the companions (Bidding Farewell wasn't shown in completed log)
It was difficult to tell since SD Rook has a largely different conversation with Neve when saving Treviso, but both Neve and Lucanis have a clear part at the end of the conversation where they ask about the other companions. Lucanis has a unique line added when you've flirted before (Rook... No more. Not after this. I don't have the heart for anything but helping my city...). To me, with his romance getting locked out after that, it reads as a break up line. I didn't notice a similar line for Neve when she was romanced.
To me, this reads that the romance is intended to be locked out, at least part of the time. The only thing that reads as potentially bugged is Bidding Farewell not showing as completed in the journal. I'll note that I also did a save with the SD Rook where I didn't do Bidding Farewell, it showed up as failed in the journal and I got the exact same dialogue with Lucanis
Oof, I remember that line, but I guess I tried to convince myself it was a temporary thing at the time. If it is intended, I maintain that it is a bad choice, especially since nothing about the characters (Lucanis and Neve, respectively) tells you why that is the case.
I also think I registered "Not now" instead of "No more", tbh, now that you've reminded me and I'm thinking about it. Seems very easy to miss.
If I'm right that this is the intended breakup scene/line, I don't think it's done well. The focus of the scene is on Treviso's suffering and the Crows/Lucanis's reaction to that. It's not super clear that it's about the romance or that it's ending things permanently, particularly given that you've barely begun flirting then. Plus the logic doesn't make sense since he can enter a relationship later on, just not with Rook apparently
