How romancing works within Assassin’s Creed Odyssey

Assassin’s Creed Odyssey has made the transition to a full-fledged RPG, and with that comes the ability to sleep with a bunch of people.

A BUNCH OF PEOPLE, you guys.

We thought we’d break it all down, mostly spoiler-free mind you, so you can think about how you’ll plan your conquests (or lack thereof; we’re not judging).

First off, we confirmed back at E3 2018 that Alexios and Kassandra can swing however they’d like, be it as a heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual or asexual/celibate. That remains true today. If you see a heart icon beside a dialogue option with a character, that’s your tell that you can romance him or her. Select that dialogue option and away you go!

Second, romancing comes through dialog options and you do have second-chance functionality that essentially makes you confirm the romance before it actually happens. You can’t accidentally sleep with someone.

That’s it, really — apart from this one last spoiler-filled tidbit that you may want to avoid. It’s below.

Still here? Good! Romancing is pretty tame compared to the likes of Mass Effect — after initiating a romance, you’ll see a kiss before the game fades to black. Sorry, pervs.

Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey is out now on Windows PC, Xbox One and PS4. We reviewed the game here. Check out our other guides below.

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
