How Does the Relationship and Romance System Work?

[shredmentalism]

I have a question about the relationship and romance system.

I can't figure out how to build relationships with NPCs. Whenever I approach any NPC, I don't get any interaction options other than "End Conversation". This happens with both my neighbors and other NPCs in the city.

How am I supposed to build relationships with NPCs? How do I give them gifts?

And how does the romance system work in general? Are there specific NPCs I can romance, and how do I start building a relationship with them?

I'm a bit confused because I don't seem to have any options for this when talking to NPCs.

Thanks in advance!

Hello,

You can build the relationship in preparation for dating NPC's once Dating v2 is implemented, for now you can do this via gifting. You equip the gifts and present them to the NPC's but I will not tell you what to gift to who, I won't give spoilers away sorry 🙂

You can build relationships with any and all NPC's, not all NPC's will be romanceable but having good relationships with NPC's maybe of help in the future for other interactions.
There is a list of the currently planned romanceable NPC's on one of our past blogs that you can find here

So, if I understand correctly, to increase my relationship level with a romanceable NPC, I need to choose an item that I think they might like (so basically, I have to figure out which gifts they prefer), equip it, and then approach the NPC with the item in my hands.

Will a "Give Gift" option then appear when I talk to them?

Or is there another way to give gifts that I'm missing? 🙂

Yes that is how it works, when you have something equipped in your hand and approach them you will see a give option.
