Starting off at the main fortress in Kuttenberg theres quite a few romance paths to explore but youll want to focus on the core ones first. Hans Capon and Katherine are your main options, and choosing between them really shapes the story since you cant have both. With Hans, look for heart icons during the Hunger and Despair quest, while Katherine needs careful choices when helping with medical stuff.

If youre looking for other connections, Klara over at Nebakov Fortress opens up after gathering some herbs, and Rosa Ruthard has an interesting book quest at Maleshov that can lead somewhere. Margaret near Bylany gets involved with this whole blackmail situation, which is worth checking out if youre interested.

For quick encounters theres always something going on at the bathhouses, plus characters like Black Bartosch at Trosky Castle or Doubravka in Semine. Just remember, while the main romances are exclusive, you can still pursue these side options without issues. Getting close to folks actually helps gameplay-wise too since relationships can give you some nice stat boosts like extra Strength or Agility through the Time Well Spent bonus. Even if you keep things just friendly with Hans, that connection carries weight throughout the story, especially if youve played before.
