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
Did you finish the whole playthrough with the shadow dragon rook, or are you basing this assumption on the dialogue? Because I heard his romance is very slow even in the best case scenario.
I haven't finished the playthrough, but I've been using a romance guide to know what convos should have a heart option and so far they've all been missing. I haven't reached the romance lock in moment yet though. But the missing flirts plus the fact that so far no one has managed to romance Lucanis and save Minrathous (despite multiple people specifically attempting that) does give the appearance that his romance gets locked out. And the specific dialogue you get with him (which Neve doesn't seem to have) makes it seem more intended than a bug
I'd like them to make it possible, but that doesn't mean that it's currently a bug. We know they've intentionally done weird things with romances before, this could be another one
