It's good news and bad news for thirsty fans who want to give some love to The Veilguard's skeletons, as the RPG will seemingly let you smooch of the bony friends, but not the one you might have been hoping for. Ever since the official reveal of 's upcoming RPG during the recent Xbox Games Showcase, Dragon Age fans have been predictably thirsty for the lineup of new faces appearing in The Veilguard. Romance will, of course, be a feature in the next installment – and level design supervisor Brian Audette jokes that perhaps .
With the confirmation that we'll be able to romance all of the companions, however, some fans have had one question in mind – will we be able to get flirty with Manfred the skeleton? Manfred is the "skeletal assistant" of Emmrich the necromancer, who himself will be a potential love interest for our Veilguard characters, but in a recent Q&A on the BioWare Discord channel (which you can watch below courtesy of creator Ghil Dirthalen), BioWare art director Matt Rhodes shut down the idea and arguably opened a whole other can of worms. "I would say not skeleton, but we're not saying skeletons," Rhodes says when asked if we can kiss or romance Manfred, giving us more questions than answers. So, if not Manfred, then ? And in what context? Rhodes, unfortunately, didn't enlighten us any further, leaving us cursed to ponder for the foreseeable future.
Apparently there'll be at least one skeleton out there in Thedas who we'll be able to get romantic with, though.
