Curie Relationship converation bug
Hi.
For some reason I am not able to get past Relationship conversation with Curie now that I have maxed her out on affinity. I have her on 1100 (getav ca_affinity). That is the 1st weird thing, since as far as I know max should be 1000 and not 1100.
I had relationship conversations each time she got next level of affinity. I didn't experiment with flirt or romance since I didn't have good Charisma yet. Was thinking to leave it for later. Now I can't access it. And I don't know what/when went wrong. I had that misshap at vault 81 with that addict quest where I broke the conversation accidentally and she got mad at me. Had some weird thing there but managed to finish that quest. But as far as I remember Curie was ok then.
Now I Command her -> Talk -> press on Relationship and nothing happens. Just jumps back to Talk section.
Tested other companion and there it seems to be working.
Also played around with setav ca_affinity 999 and hurt/heal Dogmeat. Didn't seem to trigger relationship conversation once Curie got past 1000.

I will try some other things, but may be you have some suggestions? Have any console commands that could help?

When you had the flirt option did you back out or finish the conversation?

I checked some older saves. Unfortunately there is quite a gap...

Last save where I can get relationship conversation is at quest The glowing sea, where I need to find Virgil. She has 691.93 affinity.
Next save is at quest The molecular level where I have to find help to build that device. She has 1014.23 affinity and the conversation is bugged.

I remember that she got max level at Railroad after I finished scanning that synth teleportation chip (forgot what it was called). Then I got the romance option and skipped it.

I could theoretically go back to that save and re-run it. Had some regrets after finished main story anyway. The bad thing is that Fallout isn't really a linear game. Lot of stuff has been done since and now that I finished the main story.
I would prefer a fix.

One fix could be to rerun from last unbuged save. But if saves are too far back, it can be pain...

Guess I personally will rerun from unbuged point and try to not ♥♥♥ it up this time. I had some other bugs/glitches anyway, that I know to not cause.

I would prefer if game didn't have bugs, but we have to understand that this Fallout is amazingly HUGE. And from my own expierience with simple game development I can tell that even primitive game can get bugs. Hard to imagine something on this scale.

I will rerun it and will see. May be I find the point where the bug is caused.

I was afraid I was in the same situation. Tried relationship and nothing happened. Missed a charisma check when I got her perk. But I had her with me on a couple of quests and suddenly she started a new conversation with me which gave me a chance to flirt...After that - well that's private ;-)

I fixed it by going back in saves and re-doing my game from there. Then I made sure I don't mess it up.

I was hoping for some way to fully reset the companion. Haven't found any cosole comand yet, except the affinity manipulation.
I guess there are some interractions between other NPCs and companion, that affects it.

I got the option days ago.... and I'be done alot since, so no option for me then....

Maybe the bug is fixed in the beta patch we can get?

I hope. Looks like a lot of peoples are getting this. Or some other variation of that bug. My non-expert opinion is, that it shouldn't be too hard to bug-fix. Lets hope it is not entangled too had in other conversations or something, like a cancer that can't be cut out.

Yeh. I'm sure where is probabaly a consolecommand that could fix it XD, but no-one knoes about it yet.

Even so, its a bug Bethesda should fix with ease

It appears that after the affinity check, when not romanced, Curie's dialogue simply gets stuck if asked about your relationship. Likely after the affinity check is passed, it doesn't link back properly to a state check.

Okay, so here is how I fixed this exact same issue. To make sure you have the same issue, you need to use console commands.

NOTE: Type all commands WITHOUT the " Quotation marks.

1st: Type "getav ca_affinity" after clicking on curie while in console. In my case, she was maxed at 1100.
2nd: Type "getav CA_WantsToTalkRomanceRetry" while still having curie selected. In my case, this was read as 0.00 (This means false, this seems to be the problem, a very minor bug)
3rd: Try asking her about "Relationship". If she does not respond after you say something, this is what I had.

How I fixed MY issue (your results may vary).

1) Click Curie in console mode.
2) Type "setav CA_WantsToTalkRomanceRetry 1"

Talk to her. This fixed it for me.

I can confirm that I had exactly the same. 1100, 0.00 and setting it to 1

Did the command and talked to her and got the dialog I haven't had before.

Thank you =3
