As the Rogue Trader story progresses, you will meet several NPCs whowill become your comrades. While you won't be able to have flirty dialogue with every one of them, some of the characters are quite unique and involve some naughty scenes that you'll get if you convince them of your love.

In this Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader guide, I'll go into detail about the followers you can romance.


Who can you have an affair with?

As you progress through the story of Rogue Trader, you will be able to recruit new teammates to your team. I know for sure that you can have romances with the following characters:

  • Cassia
  • Jai
  • Heinrichs
  • Irliet

That is, with one man and two girls.

How Romances Work in Rogue Trader

First of all, although Rogue Trader does have romance, the mechanics are very different from other games (like Baldur's Gate 3), in which characters openly discuss their relationships in very explicit dialogue. The world of Rogue Trader is a world of suspicion, political intrigue and betrayal. Because of this, it's not always clear whether one dialogue option will turn into a more flirtatious one.


The rule of thumb for novels in this game is to read every dialogue line carefully. Take into account what ideas and beliefs the characters follow, and choose options that align with that.

Another important aspect of romances in Rogue Trader is that you cannot force romantic interactions. Dialogue options in the game changeoften, so after you first say how beautiful Cassia is, it will be a while before you can continue.

Moments of intimacy between characters are events that happen randomly during the game. While traveling to another system, a scene may occur in which one of your romantic partners appears in the cabin or asks for a one-on-one conversation.


Finally, yes, in Rogue Trader you can romance multiple characters at once. The only limitation concerns gender. While some characters can engage in relationships with either gender, others prefer only one specific gender. You can flirt with the latter, but they will not accept you as their partner.


How to romance Cassia

Cassia Orsellio is the first character you can recruit into your team in the first chapter. To do this, you need to complete the quest “Secrets of Navis Nobilite”, which itself is part of the story mission of the first chapter “In Search of Trouble”. During the quest, you need to convince her to board your spaceship. No matter which method you choose, she will eventually agree.

After completing the quest and talking to Cassia about the ritual, once you are on the deck, talk to Cassia, who is located in the southern part of the map.

To begin an affair with Cassia, a male character is required.ola. Then talk to her and choose the dialogue options listed below:

  1. Tell me about yourself.
  2. Sorry, Cassia, but I would like to know more about you personally, not your family.
  3. Your third eye - do you always hide it?
  4. You are beautiful, Cassia. Don't let anyone or anything convince you otherwise.
  5. I wouldn't go on a date to make fun of a woman's feelings, especially one who has fascinated me since the first time I saw her.

If you end a conversation and select "Why don't we talk about something else?", you will return to the first list of dialogue options and see a new one: "Let's talk about us?". This indicates that you and Cassia are now romantically involved.


How to have an affair with Heinrichs

In the first chapter, you will also meet Heinrichs van Kalox, which will happen when you complete the quest “Reflection of the Last Sunrise”. Once you're in the monastery, explore the first rooms to find an Ordo Xenos Interrogator. Heinrichs will only date female characters.

After the battle with Zarya, you must choose the following dialogue options:

  1. [Lore (Xenos)] [Inspect the control panel damaged by Zarya].
  2. Continue.
  3. Continue.
  4. [Dogmatist] “Heinrichs, look here. Is this by any chance what you are looking for?

The first option is a test, and success in it is crucial for??getting the last phrase. When this conversation is over, return to the ship, where a scene will begin in which Heinrichs is about to talk to you.

During communication, select the following dialogue options:

  1. Thank you. The Inquisition's generosity is greatly appreciated.
  2. Talking to you confuses me just as much, Master van Calox.
  3. You did not understand correctly. It's not your status that makes me nervous, it's you personally.

How to romance Jai

You can recruit Jai Eydari in the second chapter and romance him with either a male or female character. To unlock her as a companion, you first need to complete the quests “Persona Non Grata” and “Wanted”. Some of the dialogue choices you make during these quests are important to getting her into your party so you can romance her.

During the Persona Non Grata quest you should choose the following dialogue options:

  • How can I help you?
  • I suspect Vladaim wants to keep the cargo out of your hands. And I want to put him in his place.

Here are the dialogue options to choose from in the Wanted quest after the battle:

  1. Jai Eydari, the owner of this cargo, is currently under my protection - under the protection of a Rogue Trader. Tell your master that from now on he should think twice before crossing her path.
  2. Continue.
  3. A Rogue Trader could use someone with your talents and connections, Jai. I would like to see you in my retinue.
  4. I wish we could completely forget about decorum in each other's presence...

Now that Jai has become part of your team, you can find her on the bridge of the ship. Talk to her for the first time and choose the following options:

  1. Is there something you wanted to discuss?
  2. Continue.
  3. A truly wonderful gift. I accept it with gratitude.
  4. Continue.
  5. It sounds simple enough. I will help you.

Once this conversation is over, you can return to the ship's bridge and talk to her again. Here are the dialogue lines to use:

  1. You don't look like your typical smuggler.
  2. Why did you decide to come to the Koronus Expanse?
  3. How did you escape from Ifrit?
  4. Judging by your implants, over the years you've...
  5. Thanks for sharing.
  6. Forgive my curiosity, but did some lucky guy take the heart of the respected princess?
  7. I really like being with you. I wish we could spend more time together.
  8. I don't see you as a toy. I just like you...
  9. [Falls to one knee.] My dazzling one, can I believe that you hold in your heart even the slightest drop of respect for me?
  10. I invite you toin. For decent wine. I'm sure we'll find a good topic to talk about.

A new dialogue option will appear when talking to Jai: "We need to discuss what's going on between us." This way you will enter into an official relationship.

How to romance Irliet

The romance with Irlieth in Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader is a little more complicated than the others. After all, she is an Aeldari (that is, Eldar or Space Elf), and they are naturally distrustful of humans. Rule number one: you must always be understanding when it comes to differences between Humans and Aeldari. Don't try to flirt with her the same way you would flirt with a normal person, otherwise she will feel completely disgusted.

Here are some key interactions that can happen once you get to know her well enough:

  1. When you see her meditating on your void ship, just wait patiently. Don't choose an option that might scare or anger her. She will understand that you remembered what she told you about Aeldari meditation.
  2. When you see the fountain scene and the echoes of the people you met, don't kiss or hug her. Instead, you should touch her hand.
  3. There's a turning point later in the third act that I wouldn't want to spoil. Suffice it to say that you should accept and forgive Irlieth.

Seems like there's no way to get romanticical relationships with other characters, such as Sister Argenta or Abelard.
