Assassin's Creed Odyssey Romance - How to Romance Characters as Either Kassandra or Alexios

Thisrty players, rejoice: Assassin's Creed Odyssey has full romance options, a first for the series. In this Assassin's Creed Odyssey romance guide, we'll be detailing how you can go about sleeping your way across Ancient Greece as easily as possible.

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey Romance Guide

As we mentioned at the top of this guide, Assassin's Creed Odyssey marks the first time that romance options have been available in Ubisoft's series. 2017's excellent Assassin's Creed Origins introduced us to an RPG take on the series, but it's in this game that further RPG systems are added.

Firstly, romance in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey is entirely optional. There are so characters in the main story of the game that you can romance, and you’ll only ever uncover potential love interests through completing side missions. Therefore, you’ll have to get out and about, exploring all that the huge map of Ancient Greece has to offer, if you want to find someone to romance, as either Kassandra or Alexios.

Secondly, establishing a romance with another character doesn’t tie you into an actual relationship. Think of it more as a one night stand, after which you’re free to go about your business anywhere you please. There aren’t any penalties for romancing more than one character in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey.

Finally, although you can initiate a romance with another character in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey by selecting a dialogue option with a small white heart next to it, you’re not immediately guaranteed success. The character you’re attempting to romance can do two things once you select the romance dialogue option: either they’ll ask you to undertake a small side quest for them, or they’ll inquire further about you.

• If this is the case, you have to pick the dialogue option that you think will please them most.
• Pay close attention to the conversation, you'll need to be in their good books if you want to romance them.
