If you’re grappling with the Andreja vs. Sarah dilemma, stick with me! In this guide, I will explain how to romance Andreja and Sarah in Starfield and break it all down: their quirks, their skills, and, yes, the best moments they bring to your galactic escapades.

How to Romance Andreja in Starfield
Andreja, the enigmatic loner with a soft spot for morally grey choices, is for anyone looking to sprinkle a bit of edge into their Starfield experience. To romance her, here’s what you need to do:
- Track Her Down: You’ll find Andreja in Deep Cave on the planet Nira, during the mission “Into the Unknown.” She’s not exactly hiding, but she does make you work for that first meeting.
- Boost Affinity: Once she’s in the Lodge, chat her up often. Choose responses that lean into independence and pragmatism – you’ll know you’re on the right track when her dialogue starts feeling more personal.
- Complete “Divided Loyalties”: This is her personal quest, a deep dive into her past. Play it smart, be supportive, and avoid being a jerk. Trust me, she notices.
- Seal the Deal: Opt for romantic dialogue options whenever they pop up. You don’t need space poetry – just genuine interest.
Andreja’s skills lean toward piracy, stealth, and energy-based weaponry. In gameplay terms, this means she’s your go-to if you’re planning to smuggle contraband or handle situations… creatively.
Also, her ability to remain cool under pressure makes her a fun (and slightly dangerous) companion.

How to Romance Sarah in Starfield
Sarah Morgan is the opposite of Andreja. She’s the moral backbone of the Constellation crew and the one who encourages you to “do the right thing.” If you’re into leadership and laser-focused decisions (pun intended), she’s your gal.
- Find Her Early: Sarah is one of the first characters you’ll meet in New Atlantis (Alpha Centauri). During the main questline “The Artifact,” she’ll naturally join your party.
- Build a Connection: Take her on missions where you make noble decisions – helping NPCs, avoiding theft, and showing empathy. Sarah appreciates a clear conscience.
- Tackle “In Memoriam”: This is her companion quest. Engage fully with the story, show her you’re listening, and choose dialogue that’s compassionate.
- Romance Option: After completing her quest, she’ll open up emotionally. Choose the romance option – it’s as sweet as it is straightforward.
Sarah’s strengths lie in botany, lasers, and leadership. In gameplay, she’s perfect for boosting your team’s efficiency and keeping you on the straight-and-narrow path.
Plus, she’s an eternal optimist, which is refreshing in the sometimes cutthroat world of Starfield.

Andreja vs. Sarah: Who Should Be Your Partner?
So, who gets your interstellar rose – Andreja or Sarah? Here’s the breakdown:
Morally Grey Playstyle: If you’re about that pirate life, smuggling, or occasionally “liberating” goods from unsuspecting NPCs, Andreja is your ride-or-die.
She’s supportive of decisions that toe the line and won’t flinch if you occasionally color outside the moral lines.
Heroic Do-Gooder: For those who love playing the space savior, Sarah’s your best bet. She rewards acts of kindness and leadership, giving your conscience (and gameplay) a wholesome boost.
Quests & Dialogue: Andreja’s personal quests feel more intimate and emotionally layered, while Sarah’s missions are broader and emphasize community-building. Both are compelling, but one might fit your character’s narrative better.
Here’s a more visual overview of both characters:
| Companion | Strengths | Weaknesses | Ideal For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Andreja | – Stealth-based skills – Supports morally grey choices – Excels in smuggling and piracy | – May not align with heroic playstyles – Limited team leadership bonuses | Players who love rogue-like or sneaky approaches. |
| Sarah | – Leadership and botany perks – Rewards noble decisions – Strong narrative connections | – Doesn’t support morally ambiguous actions – Skills less suited for stealth builds | Players who prefer noble and lawful gameplay. |
My Pick? (Spoiler: It’s Andreja)
I’ll admit, I went with Andreja. Something about her mysterious vibe and pragmatic approach clicked with my chaotic playstyle.
I mean, who wouldn’t want a partner who shrugs when you suggest smuggling alien artifacts for fun?
But I’ve also taken Sarah along for her skills on a second playthrough – and honestly, you can’t go wrong with either.

Bonus Tips for Making the Most of Your Romance
- Switch it Up: You can romance multiple characters (if that’s your style), but committing to one gives more depth to your interactions.
- Use Their Skills: Make sure you’re aligning their abilities with your build. Andreja shines in stealth-heavy runs, while Sarah’s leadership perks bolster crew efficiency.
- Replay Value: Consider how your decision impacts the replay value of Starfield. Each romance offers a slightly different narrative tone and gameplay synergy.
Wrapping up
Ultimately, the Andreja vs. Sarah debate comes down to how you want your space adventures to feel. Are you a rebel with a heart of gold? Go with Andreja. Are you a shining beacon of justice? Sarah’s your pick.
Either way, you’re in for great storytelling, heartfelt moments, and some truly memorable gameplay.
