It's 2024, meaning that we live in a post-Baldur's Gate 3 world where the bar for spicy RPG romances has been raised dramatically. The devs behind Dragon Age: The Veilguard know that, and it sounds like the new game will not disappoint if you like to get steamy with your combat companions.

"We really did want to keep them relatable, more grounded," game director Corinne Busche tells IGN. "Some of them are quite sensual. Some of them are more physical, some are more romantic, some are more spicy. You may or may not wake up in a coffin."

Busche doesn't reveal exactly who might want to bone down in a coffin - my money's on the necromancer Emmrich - but she does reveal who she believes has the spiciest romance of all. "I'd have to say Taash," Busche says. "When I got to that scene and saw the finished version of that cinematic, I was hollering. Hollering."
