Panam Palmer is a mercenary you meet working for Rogue in Act 2. She's a nomad, one of those who live outside the city, but she currently has an uneasy relationship with her family, the Aldecaldos.

She's impulsive, tough, and ambitious. She knows how to handle herself, but she's got a lot of family issues that you can help resolve. At the end of the day, even if she's apart from them, she wants what's best for her family.

How to Romance Panam

Panam Can Be Romanced

Panam is available as one of the Romance options, but only for Male V. If you're hoping to romance Panam, be sure to choose a male character at the start of the game, as this aspect cannot be changed at any time.

Romance Guides for All Characters

Panam Will Text You Throughout Your Relationship

After completing the Queen of the Highway quest, you will be locked in your relationship with Panam. From that point on, she will occasionally interact with V through text messages, and you can send her your own text message response.

You Can Share a Bed with Panam

At the Aldecaldos' campsite, you will have a tent with its own bed. If you sleep it in, you will wake up with Panam next to you. Even before sleeping, you can hug Panam when you visit her at the camp.

Can You Romance Panam As Female V?

If you're playing a female V, unfortunately you can't romance Panam during the story. You can try, but she will reject your advances. Don't worry; this won't affect any endings involving Panam as shown below.

Does Panam Affect the Ending?

Yes, but Romance Not Required

The player's relationship with Panam has a significant impact on the ending of the game if the player wants to achieve the Star ending.

During the conversation with Johnny in Nocturne OP55N1, if the player has completed all the Panam Side Quests, they can select the Gonna ask Panam for help option, which is necessary for the Star ending.

It's not required to romance Panam to achieve it, so characters of both genders simply need to complete Panam's Side Quests to achieve this ending.
