Q: Can you romance any of the main companions in Starfield regardless of your avatar's gender presentation?

A: Yes, in Starfield, you can romance any of the four main companions—Sarah, Sam, Barrett, and Andreja—regardless of whether your avatar presents as masculine, feminine, or uses gender-neutral pronouns.

Q: Does Starfield provide a nuanced exploration of LGBTQ identities within its narrative?

A: No, while Starfield offers a fluid approach to companion romance, it doesn't delve deeply into LGBTQ identities. The game maintains a neutral stance on sexuality and doesn't engage in in-depth discussions or acknowledgment of heterosexuality, bisexuality, or homosexuality.

Q: With the companions' past relationships mentioned, do they label their own sexual orientation in the game?

A: No, Starfield avoids overtly labeling its characters' sexualities. For example, Barrett, despite having a past relationship with a man, doesn't identify as "gay." Similarly, Sam doesn't classify himself as "heterosexual" even though he was previously married to a woman. The companions remain open to relationships with avatars of any gender presentation.
