New Features in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey
Romance Options
For the first time ever in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey, players are able to romance characters and on top of that, there are no binary restrictions in this system. If you want to romance a woman, you’re free to. If you want to romance a man after that, you’re also free to do that.
Romance in Odyssey, like in some of the industry’s best examples, such as Mass Effect, is completely fluid and has no reliance on what character you play. Sometimes, like most romantic options in video games, romantic advances in Assassin’s Creed Odyssey can be a tad cheesy, but it’s still a neat addition.
On top of its inclusion, it actually serves a purpose besides adding a level of humanity to our mercenary warriors. After you romance a character, you’ll have the option to recruit them as a lieutenant on your naval crew. It’s important to note that not all of your lieutenants will be characters you romanced. There are some lieutenants to acquire that you will not be able to romance.
