Friendships, rivals & choices

The official Q&A says interactions and side-quest choices can shape friendship, rivalry, business partnerships and romance. Relationships can affect your path through the story and some economic opportunities.

Track an observation before naming a route

A friendly conversation is not automatically a confirmed romance or business partnership. Record the character, choice and visible response, then keep the relationship type unknown until the game or repeated evidence clarifies it.

  • First meeting: district and context.
  • Choice: the option selected and any immediate response.
  • Confidence: observed, inferred or uncertain.
  • Build: the version in which the interaction occurred.

Separate immediate and later consequences

The Q&A describes side-quest outcomes and changing interactions. A response observed today may not establish a final outcome. Keep later notes attached to the earlier choice and avoid treating every correlated change as caused by it.

  2. Choice observed
  3. Response & confidence
  4. Later consequence

Friendship, rivalry, business and romance are distinct possible states, not guaranteed steps.

Protect your next discovery

The tracker stays in your browser and hides detailed notes until you open them. Public guides use a spoiler-free introduction followed by optional light and full spoiler sections. Major outcomes do not belong in search previews or the title of a general relationship guide.

Choose your spoiler level

The summary above is spoiler-free. Detailed public quest and outcome records are held until verified.

Light spoilers · meeting and quest triggers

No live-verified trigger walkthrough is published yet. Keep your own observations in the relationship tracker.

Full spoilers · branches and outcomes

No verified branch or ending record is available here. This section will remain empty of story claims until supported by a current build.
