Affinity guide for companions (that i use)

[Armored Gato]

this is not as in depth as most guides, but this is what i used for myself which seem to be quite effective. I reccommend Codsworth->Garvey->Piper->Cready->Hancock->Cait->Curie->Deacon->Valentine->Danse->X6

Preston Garvey- minuteman repeatables

Cait- minutemen repeatables, though you earn 1 dislike everytime you take a quest from a settler you will find opportunities to gain 2-3 likes from cait due to lockpicking at mission sites Using drugs during mission before doing her personal quest gains another like each time after cd and a dislike after her personal quest. Sparing Pickman from Pickmans gallery earns a like and a " loved that " if you threaten the dealer outside Drumline diner when you 1st meet them.

Codsworth- minuteman repeatables

Valentine- 1 quest from his office try to arrest the perp, also minuteman repeatables. you will not be able to acquire his personal quest until after the brain sequence in the main story line

Hancock- minuteman repeatables.

McCready- barter for better pay from missions and aggresive dialogue , i reserve town missions for him as they give opportunities to barter. Walk south of University point and you will encounter billy the kid in the fridge, this will in turn lead you to an encounter with a gunner slaver, choosing the option "never" will gain you a like from McCready.

Deacon- minuteman/ repeatables

Curie- Polymer labs experiment (complete the experiment), agreeing to join the brotherhood, i reserve the railroad quests for Curie as they present opportunities to show your love for synths which in turn Curie agrees with.

Piper- minuteman repeatables

Danse- BOS/ Minuteman repeatables

x6- institute quests

Strong- cannibilization and surprisingly enough accepting minuteman quests from settlers, also choosing the "cocky" option when responding to settlers earns a like from him.

feel free to add more tips so that people who dont have enough time to play can maximize their game when playing.
