Just wanted to comment as I’ve seen a few vids you released before with comments saying that they don’t like the characters or the romance seems a letdown and I just want say thank you for these uploads, the effort showing this for those who will and won’t play, it’s really appreciated. And Emmrich is so wonderful
Actually, the characters are not that bad, Bellara surprised me, I liked her a lot, and I thought she was going to be annoying. But at the same time, I think the characters are overall mid, and they didn't live up to the hype that the developers were marketing them. They were marketed as the best characters never seen in Dragon Age, and to be honest, they aren't. Personally I liked them more than Inquisition' characters, but definitely not more than Origins and DA2's.
Thank you for showing the romance with him not as a lich - I hadn’t seen that uploaded yet! It’s nice to see both options. Emmrich is def the standout companion in this game, imo. ❤
This man is unexpectedly so dramatic I love itXD With these scenes and banters throughout the game, he surprised me multiple times. Wise yet flawed with dramatic flair indeed! Your Rook looks great btw kudos to that!
Felt like there should've been more scenes, but I feel like that for all the romances so far. It was such a nice romance though, theres a ton of chemistry here. Felt like more effort was put into this one than all three of the female romances 💀 8.5/10.
(to me) it feels like due to his writer not being complete dogshit and unlike many others at new bioware understanding how to use dialogue and scenes that it all flows naturally instead of the awkward pauses where two puppets stare at each other "romantically" before one of these robots remembers to recite the next badly written line to progress the scene. Hence the effort being put in Emmrich's romance is... simply that it feels normal from its progression/flow instead of awkward and stilted. And hat is why it sticks out like a sour thumb compared to the others. Or rather... the other romances does compared to this one 💀
@Bloomingtide Kudos to Sylvia Feketekuty for that (if I'm not mistaken) who also wrote Josephine. Josephine's romance was always one of my favorites in Inquisition! Trick Weekes was the one who wrote Tash and Solas was his character though so wirh Solavellan hell being one of his finest work, how does their romance go?
emmerich romance feel genuine , all the little conversation about the age gap that he had with harding about rook and him was nice. It is a beautifull romance. Very slow. After all they have other things to do.
He looks so much like Vincent Price I think that’s what they were going for in a way and I like it. They did really good job with this guy. I couldn’t help but fall for him right off the bat.
@@theph0enix24 looks aren’t everything. They fade with time then what do you have left? It's personality that matters. Take it from someone Asexual who's been happily married for 17 years. I find my husband handsome but it was his personality that drew me in & vice versa. That's why Emmerich is great!
So if we take for example Cullen and count only romance scenes and no additional talking, it would be around 23 minutes, here all of these romances are even shorter…honestly it’s not bad, it’s pretty good but could use at least one or two addictional scenes. Just A BIT longer, to get hooked a bit better. These cuts and developping problems really are visable.
no lie playing Baldur’s Gate 3 spoiled me. True there aren’t that many scenes with your LI (although they feel longer than Da:V) and there’s a lot of situational banter
It took 168 hours for me to finally finish this game and his romance route. For me, the in-between stuff and little stuff helped. I took him everywhere as well for banter. The issue with romance videos is no one seems to add in this stuff. Like characters talking about your relationship or minute moments like NPCs pointing out romantic things in notes, etc. That's what sealed the deal for me. I think I'm going to make my own video for romantics because no one is doing him justice.
Thank you for posting all of these! I've already made my choice, but I do love to browse the options and see what I've missed . And damn, they're all pretty good !
Okay... this is the first romance in Veilguard where i did not cringe at the dialogue or the flow of it. It feels the most natural of all veilguard romances in progression and narrative-wise. Helps that Emmrich's character is older and thus has less dogshit "i could go for a pumpkin spice latte" anachronistic quippy dialogue, I guess. Delighted to see that not all writers at new bioware are incompetent as hell though, but nowadays this is a very low bar to cross 💀
I was wondering if anyone was going to comment on the age difference between Emmrich and Rook but I can happily say that while I was out exploring Harding all but accused Emmrich of being a cradle robber.
I'm not certain why the Dev writers keep calling Rook a "kid" when in the character creator you can make your Rook older-looking. I think they messed up with Rook dialogues overall, making them seem childish and immature. Rook isn't supposed to be a spry fresh-out-of-teenage-years person.
@@THEME-SICKLE Cassandra’s accent is much more different from Leliana and other Orlesian characters. It didn’t strike me as having any Orlesian inspiration at all
Hate the way they write Rook during romances. Acts more like an unconfident teenager which makes it hard to immerse yourself if youre roleplaying as someone more confident in themselves. They feel a lot like Ryder from Mass Effect and I wasnt crazy about Ryder.
@@TheFoxHound626 Yeah... Maybe that's why I'm so disappointed... I'm awkward in real life, but c'mon! Sometimes I wanted to shout to Rook: "Move a side! I'll do it myself!" 😅😅😅
@@Lethal_Giggles But how much younger? Protagonists in previous games could have been quite young (20-25 for humans). For me it's an excuse rather than a explaination 🤔🤔🤔 I guess Rook will never become my favorite protagonist 😅
Thank you for uploading all of these videos! I haven’t been able to play yet, but I was so unsure of who to romance first and your videos have helped (both in making a decision and in staving off my need for this game) so I appreciate all the effort you’ve put in to uploading these 💜
I thought you could make an older character with the creator this time? Do you know if there's any way to get an acknowledgment that you aren't playing a young character? Cute romance. Sad to hear all of them are apparently so short... do we know how much companion banter there is supplementing things? Are there any?
They never discuss your age and honestly the character creator doesn't have older looking options. It has different complexions but not really anything that makes you significantly older looking. Also Varric refers to you as "kid"
@@JD-Mediasad to hear that. I thought when I saw a showcase about the CC someone mentioned the complexion slider let you be old, but I must have misinterpreted. : / Damn. Bioware finally gives a gray haired romance option and insists I am a young character in it.

The game is bittersweet because I'm afraid it'll be the last DA, and there's some good stuff hidden under there that I wish could have gotten a really extravagant AAA treatment. But yes, it's short :C
While Lich emmrich is cool (and sexy) af, as a romance i cant help but bring our son back! i love this old man so much also im a watcher myself so the reactions of non watchers are funny as hell
I chose that option since I was RPing a character who used to be an assassin who wasn't interested in romance before lol. iirc he says he'll try to take things slow.
16:17 OK, I get that Emmrich is a necromancer and all, but why on earth does the music give us the first five notes of the _Dies Irae_ as Rook goes to kiss him?
I wish they would let you become a lich if your a mourn watcher and his romance. I could see him helping her become one. And when I mean help become one I mean help her study and prepare after saving the world with him I would assume the lich lords would give her the freedom to come one as long as Rook knows what he/she is knowing what to do and to do the "sifting of the soul"
I really couldn't tell whether when the facial expression was off-putting 😅 As someone who focuses more on the voice acting performance, the overall quality of cutscenes is great for me so far.
It's odd to me that they made Rook so young and awkward/lacking in confidence and then gave them a love interest with such a huge age gap. Like, outside of Solas and the Asari in ME, Emmrich has got to be the oldest, right? It's like if Origins had Wynne as an option lol
Yeah... I made my Rook older in the character creator, and the narrative keeps referring to him as a kid and young, and I'm here like "I'm like.. 45..." Even Emmrich's like that, so the writers completely dropped the ball.
@@turquesa_8056 they all fall flat because there is no meat, no depth and much personality to these companions. They are more a collection of tropes instead of multifaceted characters. Feels very akin to how ME:A was, especially with rook being so awkward and the tone being so quippy and forced cheery/too modern. Emmerich is here one of the better written romances but that is not saying much regarding the overall lack of quality and nuance to find in veilguards writing 🥴
@@Bloomingtidedid you actually play the game or are you just spouting nonsense? You're on every video talking bad about it but I never see you actually discuss your own experiences. It seems to only be just what you've watched or read
Least painful dialogue but still is largely bereft of that spark that made prior Dragon Age romances so memorable and sincere. That’s what happens when you fire/lay off all the good writers :V I had been looking forward to playing this game and romancing Emmrich, but everything from the pitch of Emmrich’s voice to Rook’s stupid attempts at flirting to the toothless and passionlessly written approach of a legitimate issue (Much older partner dying before you), the Bioware romance machine that we knew and love is officially defunct.
It's the best writen romance in DAV (almost no cringe) I saw so far (I didn't saw Davren, Taash and Lucanis). Too creepy for my taste, but not bad 😉 update: Lucanis is my favorite
@@mlj3347 Generally going for them while being in the same faction feels a bit more interesting, it’s like you’re doing things for both of you and there are common topics to talk about. What I like about Luc as a romance option is that it’s a slowburn and it’s subtle (yeah, I’m not so much into spicy content). Also he has great fashion taste and nice pair of demonic wings so…😂
I really like emmrich It was not my first romance choice but apparently not saving a city is a red flag. But there is always something that bug about emmrich romance. I like emmerich and i don't really like rook, he always seems so out of place. And the wya he talk. So naivly, so optimisticly it doesn't work with emmrich. I mean i don't see how he could i have fallen in love with my rook.
I wonder if he's Bisexual because I want my female character to date him. My female character will be happy to have someone like him because he is such a gentleman and I love that about him. This is so good.
Emmrich is the only companion in Veilguard that is worth a damn. Every other Dragon Age game you could argue the pros and cons of companions; yet you liked most, if not all of them on some level. I cannot stand any of the female companions in Veilguard. As for the males: If Davrin did not have a griffon, he would be boring and useless. Lucanis is okay; but Zevran was WAY better. So that only leaves Emmrich. Thank the gods he is awesome or else it would be a total wash.
Not the woke cult. The businessmen and decision makers who decided to make the game blatantly cringe destroyed it. Dragon Age has always been progressive, they just haven’t squandered the story to pedestal it before now
Surprised to see some decent writing in this slop. Must have been accidental. Why they designed this character too look like a worn-out university professor is anyone's guess, but for a fantasy game it's a bigger travesty than the existence of TRaash.
Taash is a teen who is barely becoming an adult, if her dialogue isn't enough of an indicator, and senior-looking people deserve love too. Don't even know why you hate that, I think Emmrich is quite dashing for his age. I designed my Rook to look older though, I wouldn't feel comfortable romancing Emmrich with a young Rook.
I’ve been watching this for all the companions and I’ve missed. A LOT of conversations and I can’t seem to understand why. 🫠 I’ve been taking it slow and doing everything. Is it a dialogue choice thing?
Probably not going back to the lighthouse as often. I basically had multiple convos waiting for me every single time I came back to the lighthouse so I started going back after almost every mission LOL.
I did NOT have "fucking in a sarcophagus" on my Veilguard bingo card.
or how hot it would be!
Emmrich being one of the better romances and better characters was not what I was expecting but I'm so here for it.
I love how he fusses over you about overworking yourself lol
i think its because he is more mature and nuance less cliche so its fresh air!
I agree. He's easily my favorite. I also really liked his dynamic with all the different party members.
Saaaaaaame I went from "Ew, creepy old dude" to "oh shit, I'm in love" so fast 😂

But there is always something that bug about emmrich romance. I like emmerich and i don't really like rook, he always seems so out of place. And the wya he talk. So naivly, so optimisticly it doesn't work with emmrich. I mean i don't see how he could i have fallen in love with my rook.
I wonder if he's Bisexual because I want my female character to date him. My female character will be happy to have someone like him because he is such a gentleman and I love that about him. This is so good.
He is! Every romancable character is pansexual.
@@mj.412 FOR REAL!!! 🤯
Yep! Everybody is playersexual.
Emmrich is the only companion in Veilguard that is worth a damn. Every other Dragon Age game you could argue the pros and cons of companions; yet you liked most, if not all of them on some level. I cannot stand any of the female companions in Veilguard. As for the males: If Davrin did not have a griffon, he would be boring and useless. Lucanis is okay; but Zevran was WAY better. So that only leaves Emmrich. Thank the gods he is awesome or else it would be a total wash.
They banged in a coffin?? Thats so emo 💀
It’s very goth
When does the love/bed scene trigger 😭 I'm at the end parts of the game
same question!
it's in the most end part of the game
Is the bed a coffin!?
I have a think for older man with mustache gray hair, oh gosh, I got dry with Emmrich
IN A SARCOPHAGUS?!?!?
10:56 What Emmrich says if you choose "You're my first partner ever"?
The facial animations are atrocious. The lack of lip syncing is like watching a dubbed martial arts movie from the 1980's.
I'm pretty sure the syncing issues are just the video. Haven't had any trouble with the game itself.
Looks like another version of dorian
They couldn't make your romance options more visually attractive?
Taash romance, please
the woke cult destroyed this game
lol nah. We are all still enjoying it.
Keep your chins up. Maybe the next DA will let you say the n-word. ❄️❄️❄️
Gay romance was in previous dragon age games. Where have you been?
As if rightwing BS catering everything to straight white mens gaze and their p0rn addictions is anything better XD
Not the woke cult. The businessmen and decision makers who decided to make the game blatantly cringe destroyed it. Dragon Age has always been progressive, they just haven’t squandered the story to pedestal it before now
@@romi-pm3tvInquisition has a transgender character though, with fully-voice dialogues about them.... the series always be inclusive.
Surprised to see some decent writing in this slop. Must have been accidental. Why they designed this character too look like a worn-out university professor is anyone's guess, but for a fantasy game it's a bigger travesty than the existence of TRaash.
Taash is a teen who is barely becoming an adult, if her dialogue isn't enough of an indicator, and senior-looking people deserve love too. Don't even know why you hate that, I think Emmrich is quite dashing for his age.
I designed my Rook to look older though, I wouldn't feel comfortable romancing Emmrich with a young Rook.
I’ve been watching this for all the companions and I’ve missed. A LOT of conversations and I can’t seem to understand why. 🫠 I’ve been taking it slow and doing everything. Is it a dialogue choice thing?
Probably not going back to the lighthouse as often. I basically had multiple convos waiting for me every single time I came back to the lighthouse so I started going back after almost every mission LOL.
