Nick Valentine: What Mission/event allows him to offer the Eddie wWinters quest?

[AikenAidan]

I have had Nick with me for a month of game time and all I do is 'Nick Liked That' when I help settlers, but he never want to be a friend. In the time I have spent with him I had gotten 4 other followers to buddy up.

Anyone else having issues with Nick?

You need to complete his quest or affinity won't max out

He won't start his Eddie quest, that is the issue.

[Rizzly]

open console

00002f25.getav ca_affinity

this will tell you the affinity points for nick...maybe it's taking longer for you

[AikenAidan]

befor the last 2 updates he would advance as quickly as all the other followers. But then this play through I have yet to enter Fort hagen and do the Big Dig. Do either of those quests affect his offering his EW quest?

[Rizzly]

no they don't affect affinity gaining. Just 'Where You Belong'

edit:I confused the far harbor quest with Nick's personal quest.... It's Long Time Coming...You should start the quest with console then he will ask you to get the tapes but since you have them already hand them over to him and go to the Andrew station like he says.

[Kalsu]

You can still gather the holotapes before he give you the quest. Do that while travelling with him , make sure you don't do anything he dislike , and by the time you're done he should offer you the quest. Might take a little longuer if you're fast traveling >.<

[AikenAidan]

I have all the tapes that are to be found , a long time ago.

Affinity is 999.00 desnt seem to want to go that last pip to 1000.

Continue the main quest up to where you hook him into the pod and go through Kellogg's memories

[Kalsu]

Then find out his affinity level : targetID.getav CA_affinity
Play a little while with him and check again to see if it's raising.

[AikenAidan]

OK so it has a quest limiter on his affinity. thanks I can shelve him for a while and work a different follower for thier perk in the mean time. Thank You Kalsue and Tavman.

Don't forget if you plan to do Curie you will need to follow the main quest up to where you need to go to the memory den, which is roughly where you will receive Nick's personal quest.

already told you...won't continue if you don't do the quest...

Also with Curie, there's a bug where she constantly runs back to Vault 81 whenever dismissed, instead of where you tried to send her. Avoiding it requires manually pushing her into the right spot to do her proper dialogue to be your companion (because she doesn't quite go to the right point on her own).

If you don't do this little thing to have her join properly, you'll be stuck with her running back there whenever she's not your companion (or will have to fix it with console command).

To get the 'Long Time Coming' companion quest from Nick you have to complete Dangerous Minds quest (its a main quest right after Reunions).
