The Outer Worlds <\/i><\/b>was a breakout hit for 2019. Fans of Obsidian\u2019s\u00a0<\/span>Fallout: New Vegas<\/span><\/i> found enough similarities between the two games to have fun exploring <\/span>The Outer Worlds\u2019 <\/span><\/i>Halcyon and saving the colonies from The Board. One thing these games had in common is a lack of romance storylines\u2014an aspect many RPG players look forward to completing.<\/span><\/p>\n

However, a key difference between the two games is that <\/span>New Vegas<\/span><\/i> allowed players to sleep with prostitutes, meanwhile <\/span>The Outer Worlds<\/span><\/i><\/a>\u2019 Captain \u201cAlex Hawthorne\u201d cannot romance or sleep with anyone. Just because it\u2019s not possible in-game doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s hard to imagine how these romances would play out, though. In fact, given every companions\u2019 personality, it\u2019s pretty easy to see how things would play out between the player character and the object of their affection*.<\/span><\/p>\n

*the only companions discussed will be humans and assumed to be sexually fluid unless otherwise specified\u2014sorry S.A.M. lovers.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to break hearts right away by reaffirming a sad truth\u2014the Ashly Burch voiced engineer Parvati Holcomb is already in a committed, and adorable, relationship. Players will remember what is <\/span>essentially Parvati\u2019s loyalty quest<\/span><\/a> as running around various areas of the Halcyon colony to collect all the necessary items for her date with the Groundbreaker\u2019s head engineer, Junlei Tennyson. The game even has dialogue with Parvati that reveals her asexuality and allows players to give advice on how to proceed with Junlei.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parvati is a wonderful crewmate to have around for conversation and moral decisions, but unfortunately 100% off the menu romantically. She\u2019s bright and charming with a heart of gold, so it\u2019s truly devastating players are unable to romance her at all. However, if players really want to <\/span>make believe a romance with Parvati<\/span><\/a>, they can always kill Junlei before, during, or after Parvati\u2019s quests that help solidify their relationship. If done after the fact, though, players should know that Parvati may leave the crew permanently, devastated from Junlei\u2019s loss, unless players can convince her to stay.<\/span><\/p>\n

If players wanted a challenging romance at the start, Vicar Maximillian DeSoto would be the clear choice. Max holds a position in the Order of Scientific Inquiry (OSI) and tends to wear his emotions on his sleeve. This doesn\u2019t lead to vulnerability though, just lots of angry outbursts from the former jailbird and former tossball player.<\/span><\/p>\n

A romance with Vicar Max, especially before the successful completion of his <\/span>companion side quest<\/span><\/a>, is certain to be full of dialogue that establishes Max as the biggest jerk on the Unreliable. He\u2019s quick to anger, largely sarcastic, and condescending to everyone, despite being a Vicar\u2014someone who is supposed to treat those he serves with respect and maintain piety, even if it\u2019s just for show.<\/span><\/p>\n

If players stuck with this romance long enough though, they\u2019d see a change in Vicar Max\u2019s disposition. If his\u00a0quest is completed, Max <\/span>doesn\u2019t necessarily get the answers he wants<\/span><\/a>, but it does open his eyes to the truth of the OSI. His personality dramatically shifts and he becomes less prone to angry outbursts and his righteous tendencies. If taken around on quests with other crewmates, players can overhear dialogue between Max and the additional companion change and become more relaxed\u2014even apologetic\u2014for Max\u2019s past ways. If players want a romance with in-depth character development, Vicar Max would be the way to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nyoka is a hunter native to the planet Monarch who has faced a lot of hardships in her life. To cope, she turned to booze. Players\u2019 first interaction and impression of her is finding her drunk in the bar on <\/span>the non-corporation-owned Stellar Bay<\/span><\/a>. To help sober her up and add her as a companion on the Unreliable, players have to get her Caffenoid pills\u2014Halcyon\u2019s instant hangover cure. After becoming sober, Nyoka becomes a party companion and will serve as a guide throughout Monarch\u2019s wilderness to get to the information broker in the radio tower.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nyoka\u2019s loyalty\u00a0quest focuses on putting her fallen comrades to rest and her struggle to <\/span>accept the good memories with the bad<\/span><\/a>. Her anger and violent streak can be as fiery as her hair, but she\u2019s got a softer side too. She cares deeply about her chosen family and is even concerned about what happens to the rest of the people in Halcyon. It\u2019s not confirmed, but it\u2019s possible that Nyoka was romantically involved with one of her former companions, Hayes, due to a conversation Nyoka has with Dr. Ellie Fenhill after retrieving Hayes\u2019 medallion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Players could never fill the hole left by Hayes in Nyoka\u2019s heart, but a romance with Nyoka would be sure to have some emotional depth. She\u2019s got a rough exterior, but just beneath the surface is someone who\u2019s <\/span>experienced a lot of heartbreak and loss<\/span><\/a>. During her loyalty quest, players help Nyoka make peace with her memories concerning the people she used to call family, so it wouldn\u2019t be hard to pave a romance with Nyoka once her\u00a0quest is completed successfully. Nyoka has a fondness for the player\u2019s Captain afterwards, and will probably always have a soft spot for the person who helped her work through her immense grief.<\/span><\/p>\n

The player character first meets Felix Millstone after he\u2019s had an altercation with his foreman, who insulted his favorite tossball team. To rectify the situation Felix, \u201callegedly,\u201d attacks the foreman with a tossball stick and loses his job on the spot. That\u2019s where the Captain comes in, and can either agree to take Felix onto the Unreliable or leave him on the dock of the Groundbreaker. Through various conversations when Felix is on the crew, <\/span>players can learn the story<\/span><\/a> of how he grew up as an orphan on the Groundbreaker.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just glancing at Felix\u2019s character design shows he\u2019s a young kid, and interacting with him affirms that he\u2019s a rebel who would rather fight first and ask questions after the fact. He\u2019s impulsive, young, and loves fighting against \u201cthe man,\u201d namely The Board. Felix is also hilarious, especially in a dialogue included with <\/span>Peril on Gorgon<\/span><\/i> where he mispronounces a word and players have the choice to correct him or not.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

If players were able to romance Dr. Ellie Fenhill, it would have a very similar trajectory to that of Jack\u2019s romance <\/span>during <\/span>Mass Effect 2 <\/span><\/i>and <\/span>Mass Effect 3<\/span><\/i><\/a>. Ellie is jaded and apathetic, yet easy going at the same time. She grew up in Byzantium and became a surgeon at the request and influence of her parents, but grew tired of the bureaucracy of the city. She left her cushy upbringing to adventure across the colonies as a mercenary.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ellie already has a tough time trusting others and is highly suspicious when the player Captain does things for the sake of altruism\u2014she doesn\u2019t believe that people don\u2019t have ulterior motives. This distaste makes the result of her loyalty quest, <\/span>different from the quest \u201cThe City and the Stars,\u201d<\/span><\/a> even more upsetting because, in a way, her jaded outlook on life is proven by her own parents. However, if gamers play their cards right, Ellie can learn to open up and see that it\u2019s not always bad to ask for help on occasion.<\/span><\/p>\n

A romance with Ellie would go a bit further than what the credits establish as the \u201cgood\u201d ending for her character, where she begrudgingly admits that she \u201cjust might\u201d need other people. <\/span>Throughout <\/span>The Outer Worlds<\/span><\/i><\/a>, if players try to get Ellie to talk about her feelings, she\u2019s very quick to disregard them or shut down. She doesn\u2019t engage in or enjoy introspection, but if romanced it\u2019s possible that she would show her affection for the player once in a blue moon. It wouldn\u2019t be a fruitless romance, but it would be one that requires players to take what affectionate remarks they can get when Ellie offers them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Outer Worlds<\/i><\/b> is available now for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.<\/span><\/p>\n
