How Romance and Relationships work in Starfield
Romance is an effortful task in Starfield, and you’ll have to build a relationship gradually with the character you’re interested in. The characters will grow fond of you as you travel on different missions and complete big story events. Every character has an affinity meter, and filling it will make them fond of you.
As the affinity meter fills, you’ll be set off on a companion mission with that character. You’ll have a chance to converse with the NPCs during every mission and event.
Choosing the right options during the conversation is key to seducing the character. If you choose a suitable response, you’ll be notified the “character liked that.” On the other hand, choosing the wrong response will notify the opposite.
At times, you’ll also get a Flirt option during your conversations. If you plan to crawl into the heart of a character, using the flirt option in the conversation every time can open the doors to an intimate relationship.
