All characters you can romance in Starfield

Romance options have become a popular addition to many games, including Starfield. As you traverse the skies and explore distant worlds, you can also explore relationships with a few other people who’ll join you.

All romanceable characters in Starfield

In Starfield, there will be four prominent crew members of Constellation you can romance, and this was confirmed by Todd Howard, the Starfield Game Director, during an interview with Kinda Funny.

The four romanceable characters are the following:

• Sam Coe: Former space explorer living on planet Akila who has a way with guns.
• Sarah Morgan: Former soldier and adventurer and now the leader of the Constellation faction.
• Barrett: An adventurer, scientist, and explorer who has a propensity for Spaceship Engineering
• Andreja: A Constellation member focusing on stealth is a bit of a mystery as nobody knows her entire past.

How to romance the characters in Starfield

To romance the characters in Starfield, you must increase your affinity with them through their quests and do things they’ll approve of, unlocking more options for you as they open up.

What I like about the romance in Starfield is it’s complicated, much like real life. So, while you can grow your affinity with your companions, your actions can also make them angry, and they can even leave you, but they may come back.

These are all the romanceable characters in Starfield (so far).

Sam Coe

Like with all companions you desire to romance, assign them to accompany you while you play. Sam Coe’s soft spots are having ancestry to a founding member of Akila City, listening to his opinions on his beliefs, and, most notably, his daughter Cora.

Both exploring and specific combat encounters against those who deserve it will improve your relationship with Sam. Be wary of the Matters of the Hart quest when attempting to romance Sam as this quest alone can make or break the action.

Sarah Morgan

Recruit and assign Sarah to your crew and as an accompanying companion. Sarah approves of responses or actions based on travel and, most prominently, science.

Sarah appreciates talking it out rather than combat whenever possible and is primarily a morally positive character. So, staying on your best behavior and avoiding criminal-like actions is best.

Once players reach the High Price To Pay quest when attempting to romance Sarah, players should focus in order to seal the deal.

Barrett

Recruit and assign Barrett to your crew as an accompanying companion. Barrett likes responses or actions revolving around independence and being morally just. He also likes when gifts are turned down and cracking jokes. Avoid political situations, criminal activity, and essentially being mean.

Be on the lookout for the Breach of Contract quest when attempting to romance Barrett, as this quest concludes the significant action needed.

Andreja

Assign Andreja to be your companion after successfully recruiting her. Andreja enjoys combat against criminals, being bold, and intimidation. She does not like indecisiveness or weakness.

The critical quest for Andreja is the Divided Loyalties quest.
