"No sudden moves"Vlad always sent Andreja with me... even when i murder civilans with Barret and he leaves me...

[dany94]

Hi,
Im completly confused why on the start of "No sudden moves" Vlad always sent Andreja with me. I dont wan't to chose between death of Sara or Andreja. I've tried everything, even murdered civilian outpost with Barret as active companion, he leaved me after that, but Vlad still sends Andreja with me... Which is a character i play most with. I want Barret to be dead.. and save Sara and Andreja. Anyone experianced simmilar problem ?

You have to use the MOD that lets you pick who dies.

[Cowardly Camper]

You have to choose between your highest affinity companions, not lowest. If you want Barrett to die, you have to make sure he likes you.

[Lavian]

The two people you have to choose between are the two people you have the highest affinity with.

[upuaut2]

yes i wonder how you do that. my least favorite companion is also barret, so if someone has to die that would be him. i wonder if there is a way to make sure he is the one that goes. i personally think that it sucks there isen't a way to keep them all alive. such a crappy story

Barret is the best for your ship

You can get quick reputation boosts from some dialogue, but for the most part, having a companion in your party for long periods of time is how you increase affinity.

Why would it require a mod?

As people have pointed out you can do it by simply using the companion and they gain affinity.

You could also use the console to edit their affinity, rather than use a mod.

Since the CK is not out people should be trying to avoid using mods as much as possible.

On top of that I have been hearing rumors Bethesda did away with one of the file formats for mods, so that means Starfield is going to have a lower mod limit than Fallout 4.

Okay, so it looks like topics on redits and mission guides are wrong, cos they told that the companion who has less affinity will go with you, and on next mission you can chose to save the favorite one or the one with lowest affinity. I gave up, and just lost my wife Sarah, now im prepering to wedding with Andreja x

Who Vlad sends with you is only half of the equation. High Price to Pay is the next mission after No Sudden Moves and that's where you make the choice.

Once you get to the lodge and you know the attack is coming you then have the choice of where to defend, either The Eye or The Lodge. That's the final decision on who dies.

As far as reading that the companion with the least affinity is who Vlad sends with you that's probably true although it's the one with the least affinity of the 4 so it will always be either Barret, Sam, Sarah, or Andreja, but like I said you choose where to defend which determines who dies.

i want to save andreja and sarah, but vlad keeps sending andreja with me instead of barret. which means andreja will be at the lodge and sarah at the eye, so cant save them both. sarah is always at the eye, at least for all of my NG+
Wahts the name of the mod?

[Xhaiden]

Didn't know it could sent someone else with you. He sent Barrett with me and Sam died. Which my reaction to was essentially "Oh well lol". In a world where mortal wounds can be healed in a matter of seconds with a med pack it's his own fault if he bled out.

Who lives and who dies can be easily manipulated. I've posted this before,

Your highest affection will be option 1 so to avoid Sarah or Andreja dying don't get to friendly with them. This will also be true if you have a romantic connection with anyone, they will be option 1.

After this the choices are decided when you goto help with repairs on the eye ;

Option 2 will be the first person that you help with repairs on the eye.

If at this point you have no romantic interest or have not bothered to get friendly with anyone and therefore affection is low then the 2 people they you will need to decide on are the first to 2 people you help on the eye.

example ;

Romance Sarah
Help Sam first on the eye

You will have to decide if Sam or Sarah dies,

No Romance

Help Sam first
Help Andreja 2nd

These will be the people who you have to decide on and so on, this has been the case for me personally on all of my 10 run throughs but became apparent on about the 3rd time.

I intend to test this further when I can be bothered to start it up again (taking abit of a break tbh as I've become bored after NG+ 10) so please do feel free to correct me or share your findings, as I'm not 100% how accurate this is but I'm 85%+ atleast but 100% certain your highest affection will always be option #1.

So, this happened today.

I'm guessing it was because I was teamed up with Barrett pretty much the whole game so far.

As previously stated this is a decision you will ultimately have to make between the top 2 companions at the time you talk to Vlad in No Sudden Moves. It has nothing to do with anyone that hates you...

Vlad will always send you out with whoever is your #2 affinity companion. For the OP - going around and murdering civs with Barrett is the opposite of what you want to do. Knowing this, you can choose to spend time on side quests/etc making "liked" or "loved" choices with someone you would rather accept as a lost companion ... ultimately someone has to go ... it'll make more sense soon.

You'll eventually arrive back at the lodge to begin High Price to Pay with the #2 companion. At this point whoever you choose to defend, between the Constellation members at the lodge or eye, that companion can be saved. GL

Pretty sure you can save everyone in a NG+. Have you tried the NG+ dialogue options?
