Who is the easiest companion to romance with?

[Yuri Bezmenov]

I was trying Piper for a while but the process is very slow.

Cait or Curie. The lists for gaining approval are in the FO4 wiki.

[DouglasGrave]

I'd have to give it to Cait overall; she likes you travelling around naked or drinking alcohol, also with picking locks, pickpocketing, and theft, as well as chem usage (before her personal quest is completed). It's a whole array of things that are easy to do.

But you may want to stick with Piper, since her companion perk for reaching maximum affinity grants you bonus XP when you visit locations for the first time.

[SpeedFreak1972]

Well I would stick also with piper ... as matter affect all companions for their perks. Romancing is imho a different thing, however at a certain point in your travels and conversation you have to make a choice.

I often don't choose to romance anyone from a RP perspective my character is still in mourning for what they did to my wife

Should I play as male or female if I want to romance Cait?

[SpeedFreak1972]

I don't think it matters.

Gender does not make any difference to any of the companions you can romance. The game leaves that decision entirely up to you.

[SpeedFreak1972]

Note that companion perks are separate from if you choose to romance someone

[THE-MARINER]

The dialogue options are easier for female companions if you are male and have the lady killer perk but a female pc can manage.

Also the last persuasion for romance is always a red one

.. which was just a few days ago in perceived time. And I don't really want to hear npc's harp on about their own problems.

Days, or weeks, or months, depending on how much stuff you do while getting up to maximum affinity with a companion.

Mind you, that's also the time span of separation in dealing with your child, however you choose to deal with them.

[NecroMaster]

Romancing is all about filling that affinity meter as quickly as possible.

As far as the female companions go they are a cakewalk

Piper and curie can be taken to sanctuary and you can try to convince mama Murphy to stop taking chems (make sure you fail the check it’s repeatable)

Piper you can also pick locks
And curie loves kind and intelligent acts just keep being a smart goody two shoes.

Can’t is also easy.
At first just keep taking drugs she loves that crap until you do her personal quest.
After her personal quest is done you’ll need another method but your only one threshold away from sealing the deal at this point:

A similar effect is more broadly possible with Sierra Petrovita if you've made it to Nuka World. You can just continually leave and redo her pre-quest dialogue to rack up likes with most companions as long as you pick their favoured response.

I usually find she takes longer because the things she likes are mostly through dialogue choices, rather than generic repeatable actions.

[ƎϽ∀ƎԀ]

Pick up a companion. Spend about 2 in-game days building a settlement. The companion affinity will be about 70 to 90+%. Companions gain affinity by just being with you.

Well, Strong is always going on and on about "the milk of human kindness..."

I'm not even religious and I feel like I need to go to confession.
