Aiding Treviso

This option garners approval from Lucanis, though it does not please Neve.

Minrathous will see the Venatori strengthen their position.

Supporting Minrathous

This choice aligns with Neve’s approval, but not Lucanis’s.
You will encounter the Seartooth Vyrantus Dragon in battle.
Quest lines in Treviso will come to a halt.
You will gain access to new quests in Treviso later on.
Lucanis will experience the Hardened Effect, limiting his healing skills, complicating your ability to bond with him.
Lucanis will also be unavailable until you recruit Taash and Emmerich.
Choosing this route locks you out of romancing Lucanis but allows you to pursue a relationship with Neve.
The Viper will survive, ensuring continuity for later quests.
You will encounter a greater number of Antaam in Treviso.
Shadow Dragons will provide assistance during the “Fire and Ice”quest.

Ultimately, the decision to assist either Minrathous or Treviso in Dragon Age: The Veilguard hinges on your personal preferences and strategic goals in the game. If you plan to explore a romantic relationship with Lucanis, advocating for Treviso is advisable. Conversely, supporting Minrathous may lock you out of that opportunity but won’t hinder your potential romance with Neve Gallus.
