History InterspeciesRomance / Videogames

** Also from the backstory, St. Alessia, the Slave Queen who overthrew the Ayleids ("Wild Elves") to found the first Cyrodiilic Empire of Men, was [[DivineDate romantically involved]] with Morihaus, an [[OurGodsAreDifferent et'Ada]] who took on the form of a great humanoid, winged bull. They eventually gave birth to what would become [[ALoadOfBull the Minotaur race]].

** FemmeFatale Rouge (a bat) is officially claimed to have a crush on Knuckles (an echidna) with additionally flirtatious advances on most of the male cast, Dr. Eggman included.

* The ''My Roommate Sonic'' segment in ''VideoGame/SonicDreamsCollection'' involves you the player wanting to express their feelings toward Sonic. [[spoiler:[[{{Understatement}} You take it too far]].]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Psychonauts}}'' [[spoiler:The video gotten for reaching 100% completion implies that Linda the lungfish had/has a romantic relationship with Mr. Pokeylope, a turtle.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Xenoblade}}'':

** Mordin mentions in passing that he's gotten a surprising number of passes from other species... but then he's [[CrazyAwesome Mordin]] so that may not count. He also mentions that salarians like himself are considered as quite attractive by certain unlikely species.

* This is deconstructed ''horribly'' in ''VideoGame/DragonQuestXI''. Because a man named Kainoa fell in love with a mermaid named Michelle, who lives for hundreds of years, it ends with [[RealityEnsues Michelle outliving Kainoa]], and [[TearJerker Kainoa and Michelle living the rest of their lives in depression and denial]]. When Michelle finally comes to terms with the fact that Kainoa died long ago, she commits suicide while thanking the hero and Kainui (Kainoa's grandson) for helping her come to terms with it all.

* Hinted at in ''VideoGame/RuneScape'' between the main character and Zanik the Cave Goblin. But whether this {{shipping}} is wrong or [[ThePowerOfLove sweet]] is up in the air for debate. Confirmed by WordOfGod in [[FourthWallMailSlot Letters From The Hedge]] with a letter from Zanik saying she's not sure if her romantic interest in you (regardless of gender) is genuine chemistry or residual MindScrew from being possessed by Bandos, and she needs some time to sort out her feelings.
** Suggested in "Royal Troubles" when Prince Brand suggests setting up King Vargas with Queen Sigrid to stop [[BelligerentSexualTension their constant bickering and warmongering]]. Sigrid herself notes that they'd get along well [[BalefulPolymorph if Vargas weren't a yeti]], but doesn't start courting him until after he's restored to human in "Glorious Memories".

** The vampyre quest series guest stars the product of a human-[[OurAngelsAreDifferent Icyene]] marriage, [[spoiler: Prince Safalaan Hallow]]. Who in turn has a very obvious attraction to [[LooksLikeOrlok trueborn vampyre]] Vanescula Drakan, complete with a [[DidTheyOrDidntThey private moment in her bedroom]] during "The Lord of Vampyrium" that you [[MomentKiller rudely interrupt]]. [[spoiler: She's just using him.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Diablo}}''. YES, THAT ''DIABLO''. It turns out that Sanctuary was created by a few renegade angels and demons who wanted to stop fighting. Their interspecies kids are the humans that make up the Player Characters. The project flopped horribly, with most of the renegades slaughtered by their insane leaders / punished by both heaven and hell, which is why you never see any renegade demons throughout your entire slaughterfest.
* ''Corruption of Champions'', it's sister games ''Trials in Tainted Space'' and ''Fall of Eden'', and its spin-off sequel ''Corruption of Champions 2'', are all about this. And by romance we mean porking any enemy you beat if your lust meter is high enough, and even then many [[NonPlayerCharacter NPCs]] are open to sex up to and including a [[AttackOfThe50FootWhatever giant turtle woman]] [[HotSkittyOnWailordAction who lives in a lake]]. To be fair though, you can romance companions and lovers if you feel inclined too.

** There's also the matter of how her son Chibiterasu from ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'' came to be, despite that it's implied the only ones left alive on the celestial plains are the Celestials (something close to humanoid angels) and [[{{Bishonen}} Waka]] (a member of the [[{{Lunarians}} Moon Tribe]] who Ammy also has lots of ShipTease with).

** There's also the matter of how her son Chibiterasu from ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'' came to be, despite that it's implied the only ones left alive on the celestial plains are the celestials (something close to humanoid angels) and Waka (a member of the Moon Tribe who Ammy has lots of ShipTease with).

* ''Videogame/{{Albion}}'' features a planet inhabited by both humans and vaguely catlike HumanoidAliens called Iskai. When the deaf--mute human druid Mellthas first encounters Iskai, he curiously touches the semi-telepathic forehead organ of the female Iskai Sira. They form a PsychicLink and exchange so much in a short moment that they fall in love instantly.

*** It's also possible for the players to engage in this, as the Eternal Bond system allows two players purchase engagement braclets on the cash shop whih lets them embark on a quest with the reward of an in-game wedding and appropirate attire as well a wedding band that teleports the player to their spouse. (At least on the free tier. Higher paid levels offer more rewards) This is entirely unrestricted by race or gender.

*** The PlayerCharacter him/herself, who can transform into a dragon, is revealed to be [[spoiler:the produce of a relationship between the human Mikoto and the dragon Anankos]]. Additionally, [[spoiler:any romantic relationship involving his/her own exclusive child, Kana, will always count as this trope (for obvious reasons), though Kana's own degree of human ancestry can vary from 3/4 all the way down to 1/4 depending on who his/her other parent is. In the localization, the Kanas have more limited romantic options - Female Kana can only date the human Kiragi (and maybe Siegbert, [[MaybeEverAfter when she grows up]]), while Male Kana will only hook up with the aforementioned Selkie (and maybe either Nina, Rhajat or Mitama, [[MaybeEverAfter again whe grows up]]).]]

-->"We've got to help, Delphi. Yes, she may be different to us - slightly taller and a different colour - but I love her, you hear me, I love this woman!"

** The ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOracleGames'' have a good dose of this, too. In ''Seasons'', Link (Hylian) dates the Subrosian pop star Rosa (and, in the manga, draws the romantic attention of his pet chicken, Piyoko). In ''Ages'', Link gets propositioned by the ''Maku Tree'', and Queen Ambi pines for...the undead Piratian Captain. Then again, since he's been stuck in another world for years, he may have been human a long time ago.

** There's also the matter of how her son Chibiterasu from ''VideoGame/{{Okamiden}}'' came to be, despite that it's implied the only ones left alive on the celestial plains are the celestials (Something close to humanoid angels) and Wakka.

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'': Most of the romance in this game is implied rather than explicit, and while there are plenty of interspecies friendships happening, romances seem very rare. The one that we do see involves a human and a ''[[PredatorPastiche Prone]]'', of all things.

* ''Franchise/Fate''

* ''VideoGame/FateExtra'': Servants are not human, so any of Hakuno Kishinami's romances count, especially with the LittleBitBeastly ones like Tamamo no Mae and Elizabeth Bathory.
* ''VideoGame/FateGrandOrder'':
** The same principle, Ritsuka Fujimaru has romances with many Servants, and many of them do not look purely human.
** Sakamoto Ryōma's wife Oryō is a dragon who fell in love with him and took human form to be with him.
** Surtr the Fire Giant fell in love with the human Ophelia Phamrsolone.
** Yu Miaoyi is a vampire-like nature spirit who fell in love with the robot Xiang Yu, even when he's modified into a monstrous centaur-like sentinel.

** Also, there is a sidequest in Rabanastre in which you can pair a Viera up with a Hume. The Hume tells the party that he wouldn't have imagined a Viera/Hume pairing could work until he saw Balthier and Fran.

* Most ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' shipping ends up here since the majority of the characters are various types of {{youkai}}. Canonly, Rinnosuke Morichika is the result of a human/youkai pairing, and Keine is ''half hakutaku'' (a lion-dog with horns).

** In ''[[VideoGame/MakaiToshiSaGa Final Fantasy Legend]]'', not only does this occur, but it's so common that [[UnusuallyUninterestingSight nobody bats an eyelash]] about King Armor (human, or close to it) falling in love with a girl that uses the same sprite as beholders and slimes!

* ''VideoGame/AgarestSenki'' has five different human/non-human matchups across the four generations, and the fifth generation can choose one of the girls not chosen in a past generation. As said romances consist of a Syrium (an elf-like race), a neocollom ({{kitsune}}) with god's blood on her mother's side of the family, two elven hybrid sisters (half High Elf, half Dark Elf), and a Featherfolk (angel-like WingedHumanoid), this isn't as improbable as it may sound. There's also teasings of a homosexual version; the hermaphroditic god Deeth flirts with Dyshana in female form and gets hit on by Thoma after she mentions she should have shown up in male form. Both Dyshana and Thoma are human.

** In the ''[[WesternAnimation/SonicTheHedgehogSatAM SatAM]]'' continuity, Sonic's girlfriend is half chipmunk, half squirrel. In [[ComicBook/ArchieComicsSonicTheHedgehog the comics]] he seems to have built an UnwantedHarem including other animal characters. In both the cartoon and the Archie Comics, he also competed with Antoine (coyote) for Sally's affections -- in the comics, this stopped after Antoine became an OfficialCouple with Bunnie Rabbot ({{Cyborg}} rabbit), who first showed a brief hint of having a thing for the [[CheeseEatingSurrenderMonkeys cowardly pseudo-French coyote]] in one episode of the cartoon. And in both canons, Bunnie's attitude towards Sonic, particularly before hooking up with Antoine, could be taken as flirtatious, what with her frequent reference to him as "sugah hog".

*** Notably, an endgame quest to unlock a dungeon is explained by a gay male couple consisting of a Miq'ote and a Hyur. The dialogue implies the two were forced out of their home village due to discrimination, not due to both being male (though it's possible this is true), but due to their differing races.

*** Peebee herself is the product of an asari-elcor couple.

* ''Franchise/MortalKombat'' features one between Bi Han the original Sub-Zero a mostly human IcePerson and [[NobleDemon Sareena]] a demoness transformed into a beautiful girl. Later, after Bi Han was [[spoiler: killed and [[CameBackWrong brought back as the more evil Noob Saibot]]]], she has a ShipTease with his younger brother Kuai Liang the second Sub-Zero.

* If the player chooses to make Cole (spirit) more human, he will enter into a relationship with a (human) bard in ''Tresspasser''.

** Another in-game book introduced in ''[[VideoGame/TheElderScrollsIIDaggerfall Daggerfall]]'', ''The Real Barenziah'', tells the story of the future queen of Morrowind and Wayrest, Barenziah. In it, she (a Dunmer, aka "[[OurElvesAreDifferent Dark Elf]]") has sex with a Khajiit (CatFolk) named Therris so that he will induct her into the ThievesGuild. (As is the case with real life felines, Khajiit males have sharp spines on their penises, as Barenziah finds out the hard way.) Later, Barenziah has an affair with the human Emperor Tiber Septim, and becomes pregnant by him. (As a bastard child with a Dunmer mistress would be very inconvenient for the Emperor, he orders Barenziah [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion to have a magical abortion]].) The books are also in ''Morrowind'' and ''Oblivion'', although the version present in both is censored. The book ''The Last Scabbard of Akrash'' provides another Dunmer/Khajiit example, though it is less detailed about the actual act.

** In the {{backstory}}, the Tsaesci, a race supposedly made up of "[[SnakePeople snake vampires]]" hailing from [[{{Wutai}} Akavir]] who once invaded Tamriel, supposedly left behind offspring with the Tamriellic races who are considered "beautiful, if frightening." (Other sources indicate that the Tsaesci are men little different from those in Tamriel, downplaying the trope if true.)

** In the [[SaintlyChurch religion of the Nine Divines]], Mara, the LoveGoddess of the Nine Divines (with a focus on commitment, family, fertility, and matrimony compared to Dibella's (another Divine) focus on the carnal and sexual aspects of love) does not place any restrictions on marriage within the religion of the Nine Divines, thus all may marry, irrespective of gender and race, and unite their souls in the holy union.

** In the ''Skyrim Dawnguard'' expansion, the player can flirt with Serana, a vampire, and can indicate romantic feelings for her, which she will reciprocate but won't follow up on. It's implied that she had [[RapeAsBackstory a very dark past involving the ritual that turned her into a vampire, as she had to "submit" to Molag Bal.]]

* ''VideoGame/{{Utawarerumono}}'' has a yamagira (humnish creature with dog ears and tail) girl who loves a human([[spoiler:god]].)

** ''Warlords of Draenor'' has a mutual attraction between Baros Alexston, the (human) city architect of Stormwind, and Lieutenant Thorn, the ([[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent worgen]]) Alliance garrison's mission specialist-though she spends most of her time in human form in the garrison, he apparently likes her [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom "long, silky fur"]]. [[spoiler:Unfortunately, he is killed in an attack by the Iron Horde late in the campaign. Afterwards, Thorn remains in worgen form, and [[TragicKeepsake keeps the]] [[TheTragicRose rose he wanted to give to her]] [[TragicKeepsake on her desk.]]]]

* ''VideoGame/XenobladeChroniclesX'': Most of the romance in this game is implied rather than explicit, and while there are plenty of interspecies friendships happening, romances seem very rare. The one that we do see involves a human and a ''[[PredatorPastiche Prone]]'', of all things.
