Starfield’s four main companions support full quest routes and romance – Director – That’s Gaming

While much has been revealed about the mechanics of Starfield, from the procedurally generated planets and diversity of biomes to the depth of the characters, there are still plenty of mysteries surrounding the companions. How many are there? How many will there be romantic options?

In a recent interview with Kinda Funny Games director Todd Howard revealed, “The four main constellation companions are the ones that support full quest routes and romance.” This answer is interesting because it opens the door for other options that may not have as many in-depth quests. Time will tell.

Howard also confirmed that whether there is romance or not, if you don’t want companions, some traits and skills support solo play. If your companions get angry, your relationship changes. You can also leave them behind or assign them to outposts and unused ships. If you want a crew of robots, that is “technically” possible.

Starfield will be released September 6 for Xbox Series X/S and PC, and there’s a lot to look forward to. In the meantime, stay tuned for more details.
