So you've decided to embark upon a romance with Dragon Age: The Veilguard's freckled scout, Lace Harding. Congratulations. You've made the best choice. A relationship with Harding has a lot of things going for it. She's fun without devolving too much into MCU-style banter, she's tough as hell, and her storyline is one of the more compelling ones.
Harding also makes more sense as a paramour. While the rest of your companions are strangers to you, Rook and Harding have been buds for a whole year by the time the game kicks off.
