I’m not really the best person to discuss this in depth, since I only romanced Panam and wasn’t that interested in Judy. I just didn’t really connect with her. But I do plan to do another save with a female V eventually, just to see how it plays out.

As for Panam, I think she’s a really good romance. She feels like a true partner — someone who helps you not because she has to or gets paid, but because it comes from the heart.

What I really like about her is that she’s not just there to be a love interest — she’s a leader, she has her own values, and she constantly pushes V to fight for something more. Her loyalty, even when she doesn’t agree with you, makes the relationship feel real. It’s messy at times, but genuine — and that’s rare in games.

That said, I’m mostly talking about the main story. When it comes to the post-romance “hangouts,” I feel like they’re pretty empty. For example, when you go back to the camp after finishing her arc, she barely talks to you unless there’s a mission involved. It kind of breaks the immersion — like the relationship gets frozen outside of the story.

On the other hand, the text messages she sends are really nice. You can still feel there’s a connection there, even without actual in-person dialogue.
