Although there isn't traditional romance in Avowed, there is at least one character you can bond with during your journey

Avowed romance has been a talking point since long before the game was released, as players generally expect that they can develop relationships with the companions they travel alongside in RPG adventures. It initially seemed that this wouldn't be the case here though, as Obsidian had previously stated that you would not be able to romance your companions so the developers could focus on balancing the game's relationships instead. While that commitment holds true to a point – you won't be snuggling up next to any party members during your Living Lands journey – we've found through our time with Avowed that there is one romance that you can initiate during the story, which then plays out during the epilogue. If you want to know more about this option, then here's how to set up a romance in Avowed.

Does Avowed have romance with companions?

Avowed romance doesn't feature in the traditional sense, as although you can use dialogue interactions to flirt with various Avowed companions in your party, nothing more comes of it during the course of your adventure. However, it is possible to set up a romance with Kai at the end of your journey, and this is how you do it:

  • Always speak to Kai when in an Avowed Party Camp and be nice to him
  • Complete Kai's personal quest
  • When you get the option, confess to Kai that you have feelings for him

Note that your character's body type and identifier, which you chose during character creation along with your Avowed background and attributes, do not affect this Avowed romance opportunity with Kai. If you've followed all of the steps above, then Kai should tell you that he feels the same, and that if you still feel that way once you've finished your journey together then you'll both see what happens.

You can then proceed to complete the story and, during the epilogue, an additional screen will appear confirming the romance that blossoms between Kai and the envoy. If you were looking for more then I'm afraid that's the extent of the romance in Avowed, but at least you got a happy ending together!
