Codsworth

[peeo]

Codsworth didn't like this, didn't like that. Codsworth doesn't like it when you kill someone.The robot doesn't like if you steal. And of course doesn't approve of the use of drugs... basically everything I do.
What do you think? Is this a bit annoying?

He loves it, if you fix your power arnor, though. I think I'll take the dog back

Most boring companion. Just leave him in sanctuary to rust

Perhaps you should hang out with Cait or Hancock instead. They will like you.

It's uncalled for to say Codsworth is boring. Try travelling with Garvey - X6-88 who is asynth displays more emotions.

Most companions will dislike drug use, alcohol use, stealing and killing innocents. The only companion that approves bloodshed is Strong; the only two companions that will approve stealing would be MacCready and Gage; chem use will only be approved by Hancock and Cait before her personal quest is complete. Cait will also approve alcohol cosumption.
Legal lockpicking will be approved by Deacon and Piper; terminal hacking will be approved by Nick and iirc Deacon. Boarding vertibirds will be approved by everyone except Strong, same goes for equipping Power Armor. Codworth,Garvey and Danse will love when u mod a weapon; Codsworth and Danse will love when you mod an armor piece. Getting affinity up with Codsworth is actually super easy, just put armor and weapon benches near the area he floats about and by following cooldown pattern, you will max out his disposition without taking him on a single quest. Codsworth is an unfixable optimist who thinks you should be sunflower nice to everyone, and as long as you keep up the appearances, you are good.

In truth, the most annoying rate of disapproval goes to Strong, he dislikes practically everything. IMO the only way to get his stupid perk at max affinity is to go on a rampage among the innocents.

There are moments where you would think companion will approve but they will "dislike/hate that" (which in some cases makes them look like hypocrites yet you know they are good guys) and go figure why. I blame gross character underdevelopment on Bethesda's part. I cannot speak for every companion fo rsure since I mostly travel with Danse whose preferences I know pretty well and he still, after 6 full playthroughs, manages to surprise me by the "Danse hated" that... One particular instance that buged (and stil does) the Hell out of me occured during "Human Error" quest because os him disliking 3 options out of 4 was very confusing and I am still puzzled as to why. Like, wtf mate?!?!?! Then again, you have no idea how many times i chose the way to go about things just to get that notification "Danse liked that" just to get his affinity to max.

I think the longest max affinity gain for me was with Deacon... Dude takes for-freaking-ever...

Also, affinity wars take place in the approach to the situation aside from actions - whether you choose to be peaceful, nice, violent or rude. Some followers contradict themselves in those situations, so I try to weasel out of the choices via sarcasm that usually doesn't bother them.

Codsworth idolizes me.

Strong is the most annoying companion to travel with. He never shuts up.

Codsworth is just supposed to be a servant robot, why does he have emotions? why does he has his own will?

"Guys lets program the servant robot to dislike the customer when they use drugs, because that would be relevant for robots that are just supposed to be servants, and when the robot dislikes the customer enough he will leave on his own even though the customer paid a lot of money for their servant robot"

Really bethesda??? Really???

So does Ada, especially when kept in a settlement. Sweet Jesus and Mother Mary, I had to assign her and Strong both on supply lines because they annoy the Hell out of me by their constant non-stop apologies for making noises and complaints they are hungry and want to eat somebody...

[GetUrAssToMars]

I like they have preferences, but they do have a tendency to be hipocrites about your actions. it's the wasteland and sometimes you gotta hustle to survive. Piper don't get mad because I need purified water and stole it from the upper crusties in diamond city. You do what you gotta do!

Cait FTW. She picks locks so you don't have to.

I agree with Ada. She talks too much, and she stands WAY to close to me which makes it a pain especially in 3rd person. But at least she doesn't critisize me every time I pick up junk or constantly complain about being bored.

Robot companions can too with the lockpicking mechanic.
