Starfield is a colossal space opera in which you'll meet many people on your adventures. Does this mean you find love in space? That's one of the first things I wanted to know as soon as I learned how to leave the first planet. Here's what I found out about romance in Starfield.
Can you romance companions in Starfield?
I have great news for all you romantic space souls - you can romance in Starfield! On those long space travels, you're bound to create some chemistry with companions and, who knows, maybe even kiss a few. While there are several important characters I've met, I have yet to have a first date with someone. But I did flirt, so dinner and the movie are still options. I guess it's hard to have a long-distance relationship when your love interest is light-years away on a faraway planet, but love always finds a way!
