Gil Brodie: A Game of Poker / Gil Brodie: The Friend | Allies and Relationships Mass Effect: Andromeda Guide
Last update: 19 April 2017
This section contains a walkthrough for two smaller tasks found in Mass Effect: Andromeda that are associated with Gil Brody, one of your crew members manning the Tempest. Completing both of these tasks will give you the ability to flirt with Gil and enable you to begin a relationship with him.
Note - Romancing Gil is an option available for male Pathfinder only. Sara Ryder can also engage in both of these quests, but these will only lead to a less affectionate union (i.e. friendship)
