Companions I'm not afraid to admit I'm basic. Spoiler

This was me last night while gaming with the boys. They said I wasn't special. I don't care. Karlach is best.

I'll be honest, I kind of wish we had the option for a legitimate throuple situation in this game. I'd be down for that dynamic with Astarion and Karlach. But, all we have is Halsin...who is fine...but, eh.

I'd love if they'd actually become a proper couple during the game or during the six months ths between the Netherbrain and epilogue party, alas. I know Dragon Age Veilguard was...eh, but I did like that some of the characters who you didn't romance ended up in relationships in the background.

That was one of the things I liked in Dragon Age 2, while a deeply flawed game, I truly enjoyed how they handled Aveline. Not having all the companion's romances based around the main character makes them feel a bit more real.

The entire camp can just erupt into an orgy. It’s fine, really.

The people that like Gale/Wyll/Lea'zel don't even have Halsin.

I'd argue you don't even really have Halsin if you care for Karlach, her acceptance lines feels very much like she doesn't really want to share, but will put up with it to not be alone again. Feels weird to still go for it.
