You can&#8217;t kiss your companions in The Outer Worlds 2. That&#8217;s standard for Obsidian at this point though. There also weren&#8217;t romances in Avowed (except there was kind of that <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pcgamer.com\/games\/rpg\/avowed-kai-romance-companion-quest-battle-scars\/\">Kai romance in Avowed<\/a>). Obsidian has reiterated that no, you can&#8217;t sleep with your mates in this one either. Maybe they&#8217;ll have snuck in another off-screen sort of romance, but there definitely won&#8217;t be any broader system of companion approval and smooching scenes. You&#8217;ll need to go back to Baldur&#8217;s Gate 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 for that.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"article-body__section\" id=\"section-aza\"><span>Aza<\/span><\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check >\n<div class='image-full-width-wrapper'>\n<div class='image-widthsetter' style=\"max-width:1926px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.28%;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" id=\"ubjhHtScHk6q5BeABE9jR\" name=\"ow21\" alt=\"The Outer Worlds 2 - Aza holding a bottle\" src=\"https:\/\/arcader.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/all-of-the-outer-worlds-2-companions-you-can-recruit-to-your-crew.jpg\" mos=\"\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\" width=\"1926\" height=\"1084\" attribution=\"\" endorsement=\"\" class=\"\"><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Obsidian Entertainment)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Faction<\/strong>: The Glorious Dawn<\/p>\n<p>Aza is part of a cult that worships the rifts that it&#8217;s your goal to get rid of, &#8220;and in her case, violence in general,&#8221; so that&#8217;s sure to start off as an easy partnership. &#8220;You can choose to either turn her away from overt violence or support her chaotic and dangerous tendencies,&#8221; Obsidian says.
