The 5 best RPG romance companions of all time

Krobus, from Stardew Valley, lives in the sewers of Pelican Town and isn’t a traditional romance candidate: you can’t marry him or have children with him, but at 10 hearts he can accept a Void Ghost Pendant and move into your home. Once settled, he behaves much like other spouses—leaving gifts, contributing a Stardrop at max affection, and changing the house’s decor—offering a platonic domestic option that resonates with asexual and aromantic players.

Solas, in Dragon Age: Inquisition, offers a slow-burn romance available only to a female elf Inquisitor. He is intelligent and flirtatious, paints murals of the player’s choices, and remains reluctant to grow close—until he is revealed to be an Elven god whose lies culminate in a painful departure that leaves the Inquisitor physically and emotionally damaged.

Judy in Cyberpunk 2077 stands out for her protectiveness and realism: she’s standoffish, dates only a female V, and requires time and effort to earn her trust through her questline.
