Need help the companion affinity

[Zapp Brannigan]

I'm approaching a certain maim question where I have to make an important decision involving two companions. The high stakes quest. And so without spoiling anything specific because of this question I need to have certain companions in certain levels of affinity. I'm trying to change andrejas affinity to more positive however. I've been taking her out and doing multiple quests with her yet nothing seems to make her happy or even sad one way or the other. Is there anything I can do to make her happier very fast? All the guides I look up are so generic it doesn't really say anything specific.

It’s a matter of who you spend most time with not what you do. I asked Barrett to travel with me for a certain quest then arrived on the planet. I then went and got some lunch came back around 1hr later and Barrett was asking me if I had time to talk. I was just standing in my ship doing nothing and it progressed the affinity.

Yeah it just seems they have to be set as the active companion then its mostly a time thing, though doing stuff they like helps as well, but just sitting around with them active will also raise it.

Everyone likes it when you free a hostage through the ranger radiant quest.

I found a sure fire way to raise affinity, go to the bounty kiosks(Free Star Rangers or UC Vanguard, maybe others have it too but these are the ones i found that had it the most) and accept missions that say "Rescue a NPC".

Once you accept go and do the mission and make sure to free the person before talking to them, that way you are guaranteed an instant like from your companion thus increasing affinity.

I tried this with all the companions that i could and it worked on all of them(talking about Constellation companions), I do not know if it will work for you or others cause I only have my own experience to go.

Its a radiant quest, just become a deputy and you can do it anytime from the kiosk.

Its really annoying you have to micromanage like this due to a heavy handed main story quest you can do nothing about. They should have made a way they both live I mean your char has weird space magic, maybe let them have a 1 time revival thing they can use on others as plot armor or something. Of course you can also have the choices of NOT using it too if you so desire. I really REALLY hate it when games force a main companion to leave in anyway.

Console, click on companion to get Ref ID.
Then "Getav COM_affinity" to see the numeric value of companionship.

Followed by "SetAV COM_AffinityLevel <x> " (where x is 0-3) to force affinity.

any ideas why the command wouldn't work?

no matter which companion i click on (sarah quite likes me) i always get "GetActorValue: COM_Affinity >> 0.00". same with GetAV COM_AffinityLevel.

Make sure you are typing it correctly. I'ts just "GetAV COM_Affinity", nothing else. Also make sure the companion properly shows selected after you click on them. The lower middle of your hud should say something like "NPC_ 'SarahMorganREF" in the lower center of the screen when the companion is selected.

not sure what changed, before i wrote this post i didn't get the npc name just some refID clicking on a companion. now having read your answer, clicking on a companion is showing their name and it is working.

very weird, thanks for the helping vibes :)
