Avowed romance is something that players may expect to see, as it's fairly standard in RPG adventures to form relationships and bond with your companions. During discussions before the game's release, Obsidian had stated that you wouldn't be able to romance your companions, so the developers could focus on balancing the game's relationships instead. While that comment was broadly true and you won't be cuddling up to any of your party members during your journey across Living Lands of Avowed, there is one romance that you can initiate during the story and see play out as part of 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!
