As is the case with a lot ofother Western RPGsthese days, romance plays a fairly important role inStarfield. However, despite there being more than twenty possible companions in the game, only four of them are romanceable; these being Andreja, Barrett, Sam, and Sarah.

Before players can even think about getting into their companion’s digital drawers though, they’ll first need to build up a strong relationship with them. Doing so requires a good understanding of what really makes these characters tick, so thirstyStarfieldplayers may benefit from doing a little background reading on their likes and dislikes before making their move.
Andreja
Andreja is arguably one ofthe best companions inStarfieldand ranks highly on many players' to-do lists as a result. Those hoping to romance Andreja will find that it’s actually rather simple, as she’s incredibly laid back when compared to the likes of Sarah and Sam. She’s willing to turn a blind eye to most crime, though players should avoid targeting innocent people and taking any kind of bribes while in her presence. After flirting with her for a while, players will unlock the Divided Loyalties companion quest and will be able to romance Andreja after that.

Barrett
Barrett actually has something of atragic backstory, with his first husband Ervin having died prior to the events ofStarfield. He’s still surprisingly upbeat though, which is something that players should focus on if they want to romance Barrett. He tends to prefer positive dialog choices but responds very poorly to agorance. He’s also not a fan of morally dubious actions, so players should steer clear of murder, blackmail, and thievery whenever he’s around. If players flirt with him enough, they’ll unlock the Breach of Contract companion quest, after which, they’ll have the option to romance Barrett.

Sam Coe
Players will quickly realize that Sam Coe really likes the Freestar Rangers, so they’ll definitely want to make sure to treat the organization with respect whenever he’s around. They’ll also want to focus on choosing righteous dialog options, as Sam is attracted to people with proper morals. The only thing that he loves more than the Freestar Rangers is his daughter, Cora, so players hoping to Romance Sam shouldtreat her like the little princess that she is. If they do, they’ll eventually unlock the Matters of the Heart companion quest and will be able to romance Sam upon its completion.

Sarah Morgan
In order to romance Sarah, players should try to take the diplomatic approach wherever possible, as like most of the other romance options inStarfield, she is not a big fan of violence. Likewise, lying and stealing are all big turn-offs for Sarah, so players trying to get into her good books should make sure toplay by the rules and praise Constellationwhenever the opportunity to do so presents itself. Eventually, they’ll trigger the In Memoriam companion quest, after which, they’ll be given the option to romance Sarah.

Who is the Best Romanceable Character in Starfield?
In truth, romance inStarfieldis a little underwhelming, with none of the romance questlines really worth the effort. That said, some are more frustrating than others, making it more a case of finding the least bad option to pursue. In that regard, players are arguably better off going with Barrett, as romancing him at least provides some interesting insight into the man that he really is. Likewise, Andreja’s romance quest is somewhat illuminating, though whether or not it’s really worth all of the effort is definitely a matter of debate.
It’s possible to romance all fourStarfieldcompanions if players really want to, though they should try to make a point of doing so beforethe High Price to Pay main story mission.
Starfieldis available now for PC and Xbox Series X|S.
