I'm still planning to play this game on game pass once I either finish BG3 or if I need a break from it, but yeah-I really hope it's good enough that I want to buy it later on!

Todd was recently interviewed about Starfield:
Around 25.50 mark, he confirmed that there are 4 romance options, and they are all in the Constellation group. He did not mention specific ones.

Hmmm interesting! He said four main Constellation ones, we know that Sarah and Sam are romances from the direct video. And if we trust they are making 2 men and 2 women, Noel gotta be the second female character (edit: totally forgot the ??? character haha maybe she is too?), question is who will be the second male one, Barrett seems to be plot-relevant but then again, there is that spoilerish pic with his helmet broken with a headshot so I have no idea. I think the thing is between Vlad and Matteo if that is the case. Also, having only 4 romance options hope it means that everyone is bi now more than ever and that there will be more content than Fo4 |

Hmm if they're all in the Constellation group, hopefully they won't be barred behind you being Constellation focused considering the game has multiple different 'factions.' I'm really hoping for all bi and that they don't go backwards from F4. If there's four maaaaybe we'll get more focused romances rather than the somewhat lacklustre attempt of F4. (Though I'll take F4 over Skyrim 'romances.')
If Sam is a confirmed romance then he's not a bad choice to go for depending on who the other male option ends up being.

Seems weird to have a shot like that and not have the player be part of the group.
I'm also not sure that was Barrett's helmet, since I suspect members of factions have matching suit designs, so it might be from another Constellation member. I kind of wonder if it might belong to the player - it would explain why you start the game with people worrying about your memory.
...Three months until the game comes out, time to start throwing wild theories around.

They better be really good romances if there are only 4, and 2 of them better be men (and all of them bi/pan). Sucks to go from so many options to so few again, but we'll see how it goes.

I mean, consider the quality of the massive amounts of options - in Skyrim, you basically had like thirty options apiece, and they had pretty much no development (and some were even characters who I can't even understand what appeal they'd even have), especially given the amounts of shared voice lines. Then Fallout 4... Like, they were conceptual romances, but the romances only existed in dialogue, not in action - you couldn't even kiss, let alone have a romance culmination scene in the BioWare style (and, yeah, comparing Bethesda and BioWare isn't fair, but it still paints a picture).
So at least there's a possibility for something stronger than just a few differing lines of dialogue from these fewer romance options.

Definitely prefer fewer options with more development assuming they're not gender locked and are equal in men and women.

Seems weird to have a shot like that and not have the player be part of the group. yeah I thought about it too haha, hopefully there are more female characters in the crew, cause having only Sarah and Noel I find the main cast very uneven. I'm wondering if we can recruit companions from other factions cause it really does seem only Constellation ones are the plot-relevant (at least they are marketing that way) and I HOPE you are right about the spoiler haha I need dadbod Barrett to do crimes and be gay   VFerreira93 dearie, make a poll with all the companions we know about haha and then we should make a final one when we know all the options  edit. I'm thinking that even though all companions belong to the Constellation faction, I think everyone have different backgrounds, I mean Vlad is an ex-pirate or Sam is a spacecowboy from that old west settlement (dont remember the name haha) so chances are that they will be our contact with other factions??? |

dgcatanisiri I agree that less can be more if the romances are done well, but we shall see. It's hard to say with so little info. I'm thinking that even though all companions belong to the Constellation faction, I think everyone have different backgrounds, I mean Vlad is an ex-pirate or Sam is a spacecowboy from that old west settlement (dont remember the name haha) so chances are that they will be our contact with other factions??? That seems like a good guess. I wonder if we meet them all at the same time, which would be a nice change compared to the companions being spread all over the world map in FO4. Then again questing to find some of them could be fun too. eh...it'd be nice at least if they're not quite as missable as ones like Curie and the likes.

Well, I ended up pre-ordering. I won't be able to invest any real time in it on release outside of making my character because BG3 takes priority, but hopefully by the time I get around to playing it properly we'll have more information of the romances if they don't confirm anything before release.

This looks to be the first game I might have to upgrade my PC for. I’ve been putting it off evdn with gpus getting less expensive because my system has been over performing reliably but I think that’s coming to an end. If a Bethesda game is borderline for my rig, it’s time. Other games will just be more demanding.

i'm in the same situation as you ogre, I need to build a new pc soon, I was waiting for Dreadwolf to do it but ...  EA of BG3 works fine with my current pc and I want to play that game first so I dont know when I'm going to do it but late this year for sure, the money tho there goes my botox saving lmao  im kiddingI have been reading people saying on reddit that Barrett is one of the four main Constellation romances cause he has 4 skills (some followers they showed from the direct video have 2 or 3 skills), I dont know how reliable is this theory but I'm hopeful haha 4 options are still very little but if they are all bi and with bigger content than Fo4 romances is cool for me! Wondering if DLCs will add more options like Fo4 did with Porter Cage |

I mean, let's be real, this probably is better in terms of what they actually can deliver. "A thousand worlds" can easily could out to be like the uncharted worlds in ME1 - you get a small box to run around in of same-y looking planetary geography and the odd reused alien fauna. Like with that amount of locations, there is absolutely no way that they're all going to be 100% unique.
And given how minimal the romances were in Fallout, again, I'll take fewer options with the trade off of them being more in-depth.

I would honestly prefer a handful of crafted planets with quests, treasure, things to explore, etc, than a 1000 planets where all you do is scan stuff or land there, collect something from a barren wasteland and leave again. Also, after a while you'd probably just get bored and not even bother to go visit any of those random planets that don't offer anything except maybe a couple of resources, even more so on repeat playthroughs.
As for romances, I'm fine with there being less if they're all still bi and they have depth. If they're as basic as Skyrim/Fallout's were, whilst having so few that's kind of meh and a downgrade. If however, they offer more depth and you get more out of them because there's only four and they could focus more on it, I'd be fine with it. Then again, this is a Bethesda game so don't go expecting drawn out romances like DA/ME offer. I do wonder however if romances will be gated behind your choices. If they're all tied to a specific faction, are they still going to want to knock boots with you if you decide to go help out one of those other factions (especially the rougher, more raider-esque ones.) I would have preferred more choice than them all being tied to just one faction - but maybe the other factions won't be as big/in depth, considering Constellation seems to be the main big one.

Bethesda post Morrowind is a bit more conservative with stories (they might pull a satisfying cliche ala oblivion or a nothing story aka Skyrim). They have a decent history of making large games though that disguise how bare they can be at times enough that decade later people are still playing Skyrim.
So it’s gonna be tough to know, but most likely it’ll be fun if shallow. But maybe it’ll be deeper than they’ve given previous I’m thinking it might be FO4 style but with more animated interactions and probably cutscenes. They’ve hinted at more cutscene like moments but it could be like cyberpunk, but I’ve seen enough screencaps with PC like people that I’m leaning to Bethesda doing rudimentary cutscenes.
But bigger FO4 in space with a more optimistic bent, with similar mechanics and more modern feeling character interactions is a reasonable expectation. I have no idea about planet content. That’s my biggest worry is will they just feel like video game side content or will they make it fun.

I agree that the 1000 randomly generated planets still feel more like a red flag than a feature, but then again maybe it'll be okay. My biggest worry is it'll make every new run a thing of frustration.
Say for example you really like this one unique weapon and it basically becomes your go to but it was found on Planet 327&ahalf on your first run, but it's on a totally different planet on your next run-and you never find it again... Eh...
Then again Fallout 4 mostly took all the joy of unique weapons anyway (save for the Deliverer which is oddly broken for a 10mm pistol). So perhaps that won't even be a big deal this time around, but I do like unique weapons that really make the game either easier or more interesting at least.

Yeah I mean I pretty much do everything on a first run outside of pure evil choices, so no doubt I would visit all 1000 of those planets in some form, but on repeat playthroughs? Hell no. I'd likely only visit if they were worth it or idk I had to waste time for a mission to trigger or something. I love side quests but jumping from planet to planet for resources (or worse, nothing) would get boring real fast for me.
