How to start a romance with Liam Costa in Mass Effect: Andromeda?
Last update: 27 March 2017
Liam Costa is the first companion that will join your party, as well as the first character you can romance with. However, he, as a romance option, is only available to the female character, Sara Ryder - while playing as Scott you won't be able to flirt with him and the relationship will be limited to friendship. Liam Costa is a character you can have close relations with - by engaging in that relationship you won't be able to flirt and romance with other characters.
Note - before engaging in a close relationship you can save the game. Afterwards, you can go through the rest of the romance, load the saved game and engage into a relationship with a completely different character. The option to romance other characters is locked only when you are engaged in a close relationship with somebody.
Below you can find a table presenting all of Liam's loyalty missions, coupled with the requirements that must be met to unlock them. Detailed description of every single one of them can be found in "Allies and relationships" section of this guide.
