How to romance Sam: Likes and dislikes
In order to further your relationship with Sam and eventually romance him, you will need to increase your affinity with him. While affinity is not a number you can see in-game, you can see increases or decreases whenever a message appears stating “Sam liked that.” That message typically appears after a dialogue option with another character, although spending time with your companion can increase affinity as well. Sam is a good-natured person with an old-school sense of justice. You will typically want to leave violence as a last resort and avoid shaking down people for extra credits if he’s your active companion. If you want to romance Sam, always pick the flirt option when available, as it’s never the wrong option.
- Sam really likes his daughter Cora, so anything positive about her or parenthood is great.
- Sam hates his family name and its legacy, so avoid using it to get what you want.
- He likes it when you can diffuse a situation without violence, although he doesn’t mind it in the right situation.
- He likes the Freestar Rangers, so joining up with them and putting justice above all else is a positive.
- A consistent way to gain affinity is to complete hostage rescue contracts you pick from the Freestar Rangers bounty board in Akila City, as Sam Coe likes when you free the hostage without asking for more credits.
Matters of the Hart companion quest
Once you have reached a high enough affinity, Sam will eventually tell you that Cora has something urgent to speak about with both of you. Bring Sam to Cora and she will tell you that her mother, Lillian Hart, is in some type of danger and the two of you need to head to Neon to check on her.
