Help with companion affinity archievement

[manson.oldboy]

Hello dear all,

I just have +1000 hours on Fallout 4 and I'm ready to quit the game for good, but before do so I wanted to get 100% archievements.

I do everyone of those, but I'm have a problem with the last one, a pretty common archievement related to get 100% affinity with a partner.

I'm just creating mods so Codsworth loves it. The issue is that as I understand it has a 10 minutes cooldown to gain affinity, and it has to be done a total of 29 times to reach max affinity!

I tried old methods like the quicksave and load method, but find that it was "fixed pretty early".

Also I read on Fallout 4 wikipedia that if you Dismiss a partner, finish/progress a quest and recruit it again it will gain 3% affinity but there is no way to check if it is actually happening.

I really want to do this quick, please share your methods if you have any! thank you for your time dear all.

You get affinity just having a companion with you. You don't even need to do anything. Something like once every 10 minutes. So get a companion that you're already pretty invested in and go out adventuring. All the like/love stuff just speeds it up a bit.

Codsworth is easy, you dont need to do any ending quest for him.

sure there is, and you can just cheat... tag a companion, do "modav ca_affinity 1000" which will jack it up 1000 from whatever it already is... then walk through a cell transition door or fast travel with them and they'll initiate dialogue as long as no enemies are around... most have 4 stages, 250, 500, 750 (personal quest for those that have em), and 1000...

hey you're quitting anyway, just 'caqs' and 100% the game standing still. (complete all quest stages)

with 1000 hours under your belt, no one can tell you cheated. :-) The guys with 12 hours who absolutely hated the game but can't stand not 100%'ing games, well it's obvious they did 'caqs' but they don't care, either.

If you just want to check if their affinity went up from the dismiss/re-hire, tag em and 'getav ca_affinity' will display the current... do it before and then after. How do you think these people discovered it went up by 3?

Codsworth is probably your best bet he doesn’t require as much as everyone else and he has multiple repeatable actions that can increase his affinity.

Armor modification is loved.
If your charisma isn’t high talking mama Murphy out of her chem addiction is loved.

Both of these actions are worth 30 points each every time you do it.

He likes charity and topics about familial love and hope.

A good way to get affinity with codsworty is to take him straight to diamond city for pipers interview there are 3 dialogue he likes from it which is 45 points.

Giving Sheffield a nuca cola is worth 15 points.

Going into the schoolhouse and telling the robot children need love will get you 15 points.

That should be move to get him to the point he admires you.

Just make sure you complete all the dialogue with him or any affinity you gain will be put to a hault.

[manson.oldboy]

Correct, you must be refering to

"Affinity can be also increased passively by simply having a companion follow the Sole Survivor. The increase depends on the current affinity level and will be lower with higher affinity values.

Assuming the above conditions are met and no other actions are done to gain or lose affinity, this means it would take 520 minutes (8.67 hours) to reach 1000 affinity with a companion starting at 0"

I'm currently in the very endgame of a playtrough dedicated only to unlock archievements, and there is not much motivation to "go out adventuring" but just to grind this archievement out.

Thank you, I didn't know that console commands could be used without archievements be blocked, I will probably just do so.

[Death Approaches]

nope wrong game... console commands are fine, mods disable achievements. cheat you butt off. have fun in your next game, or when the Fallout 4 bug bites again, we'll see ya then.

Console commands do not disable achievements in any Bethesda Fallout/Elder Scrolls game. The console does disable achievements in New Vegas, but it is only temporary as reloading the game lets you get achievements with that save file again.

[manson.oldboy]

Guys thank you for the great and fast answers!

[manson.oldboy]

To be honest, I don't feel like using console commands to accomplish this last task. The only moment where I used those were for unbug certain quests like the one Emogene Cabot appears in an unreachable area, or to check what's like to use Bobby's terminal (wich is bugged and can't be used).

Still I already reached admiration from Codsworth from the actions that @NecroMaster gave to me, is a way to learn something else from the game. So I will keep finding ways to Codsworth to like me. But not cheating!

Peace

Cait, do drugs, drink, pick locks, kill raiders, ignore "crys for help".

I think she's the easyist

[manson.oldboy]

Just in case anyone is interested, you can reset the cooldown for the Codsworth loving action if you complete any quest and then wait 24 hours.

Also with cait, if you romance her and then quick travel while naked she likes that too. She is hands down the easiest companion to max out through normal play.
