Is there romance in Star Wars Outlaws?
Star Wars Outlaws has everything you’d expect from a space adventure – quirky characters, laser battles, droids, space travel, etc. But is there romance in Star Wars Outlaws? Can you expect to fall in love like in Baldur’s Gate?
Can you date companions in Star Wars Outlaws?
There is no romance in Star Wars Outlaws. Key’s feelings in the game are reserved for her sweet pet, Nix. Other than that, the closest you’ll get to feeling loved is when the ND-5 battle droid defends you against enemies. Other than that, you can feel love for the moneybecause Key is all about getting as many credits as she can get. It’s not easy being an outlaw in Star Wars.
The most you can hope for is to be respected in Star Wars Outlaws. By completing quests, your reputation among syndicates will grow, making you feel important and powerful. Honestly, Key doesn’t have time to deal with romantic feelings, because she plans to become a successful thief. She is like Boba Fett, a loner looking to prove his worth in the underworld. That doesn’t mean she won’t fall in love with Rebel when the time comes.
When you think about it, it’s not like Key has a decent romantic option anyway. All the characters she meets in the game are either backstabbing gangsters, backstabbing rebels, or droids. Unless something changes in the potential Star Wars Outlaws DLC, Key will remain focused on her career.
I’m fine with this choice, as having an Andor-like character focused on a mission is a nice change. I guess some fans were hoping for romantic options from Baldur’s Gate (Wolves instead of bears?), but that doesn’t happen in Outlaws. At least not at the moment.
