What is the point of having Cait as a follower?

[🅵🆁🅴🅳🅴🆁🅸🅺]

She LITERALLY hate everything I do except picking locks and extorting caps from people. I just feel Bethesda didn't bother to script her properly. She hates everything in the main questline, she hate the Minutemen quests, and even compelting various side quests make her hate me. I can say this is going to be the shortest time a follower have been with me in Fallout 4.

Oh well decided to drop her because literally everything I did that suits my playstyle she hate. Lost count on how much the game told me she hated that, or disliked that. Piper also loves it when you lockpick, but she also like when you do quests and don't pay too much attention on what you say unless you go complete psycho and eat the person when done. xD

So every companion should just love everything you do in the game. Why even have an affinity system at all? Should I complain that when I go around killing random people and being an ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ that Piper is a non productive character? No.

Stupid thread.

I bet she would suit someone playing a raider.

(Since I see no point in any companion, I usually play alone, when I am not weighed down with one by the game.)

ITT: Why's this character like different stuff than I do? It's totally unrealistic. In reality everyone is just like me.

She only ♥♥♥♥♥ guys that are attracted to women .

Hey, didn't ask you to make your input here but obviously it caught your "stupid" attention.

Addicts are not known for deep interpersonal skills or tollerance. Tho you are not wrong about the general quality of companions being very weak.

Well, I'll tell ya..... apart from being Irish, she looks great in the Grognak outfit sporting that Grognak Axe. She also uses that axe very well as melee is her forte.

And it is fun to have a companion along that dislikes many things you do... love/hate relationship.

Agreed. If the NPC's left or what ever it would suck, but they are very forgiving. I got a few complaints, the NPC"s are not one of them vecause they make the new Fallout games. Without them they would have cut popularity in half or more.

Well that is barely any benefit to the player if you want to try and make friends with her because she is going to leave the player eventually by just completing normal quests.

Except she doesn't. Being a nice guy means it will take a lot longer to get to your special quest, but it won't mean she will leave you. Only if you're a total diik about about being a goodie two shoes. You have to work at it to drive her off.

The easiest way to get the affinity up for characters that are more hostile, like Cait, Strong, etc, is to just have them with you while you're doing time consuming but pointless content, like settlement building. Companions affinity goes up slowely over time as long as they are "traveling" with you, thankfully the game considers standing around in a settlement contemplating what you want to build and how to do it as traveling.

And the reasons to have Cait as a companion are... she's an absolute beast with a decent melee weapon, and she's got one of the best stories of any companion, right up there with Nick.

my character is a raider so she is a perfect companion. She likes when you drink alcohol, use drugs, ask for more money, or do anything that is beneficial to yourself at the expense of others...if you play as a morally questionable character, she's the best companion...

You can level Cait up super fast by taking off your armor and clothes and then just walking into and out of a door.

You can level Strong up fast by taking the Cannibal perk and eating corpses.

Once you max out Cait's affinity, you can then freely take her anywhere you want and do whatever you want with here there and it won't matter that much.

However the whole point of making each companion like different things is because there are different ways of playing the game and each companion is designed for different players who play the games those ways. It doesn't make sense for Danse to follow around someone who murders and eats civilians.
