I've gotten 3 companions to max level.
The way it works is
- you do stuff they like enough
- They want to talk with you, do the conversation and don't be a dick (you can be sarcastic though).
- rinse and repeat
You'll eventually either get a conversation where they are asking for help with a personal quest or you'll simply have a last conversation. When you're nearing the end you'll see a 'X liked that' and then a 'X idolizes you' message. Once you reach their max affection level you'll get a pop-up telling you that you have.
I then proceed to tell them to get lost as I level up another companion. Fortunately I only have two more companions I want to level up outside of the main quest companion I'll be using [Nick Valentine]. And whenever I play again I'm doing the quest to get the second to last of them.

Is there a point to the cybernetic components you get from
corpse aside from the one needed in the Memory Den?

Ah okay Piper and Codsworth had conversations with me but nothing came of it. I said liked them both. I will just keep on keeping on.

There's a pretty hard series of speech checks you can do at the end of The Lost Patrol that will likely max any character who like nice actions if you pass all of them. I went from having had no conversations with a certain companion all the way to admired.
You unlock the perk after the third or fourth rep conversation.
They seem to have 2 different tiers of convos. One is "____ admires you" and above that is "___ idolizes you", both should initiate them talking to you.
Why? Pm
Do we know which ones have the quests?

Sorry if this has been asked loads of times before, but how do trading posts work? I've put one in Sanctuary and assigned someone to it, and they just stand there looking bored. Do I make money? What's the deal?
If you have extra settlers not assigned to a task, you'll start getting a small flow of caps from them. The bottlecaps will end up in your workshop.
So do dungeons have changes depending on what you have done in the past?
Unless I've read this wrong I was in the alcohol brewery and looked at this computer that referenced that the plant that I went into earlier as part of one of the early minute men quest to kill the raiders there was wiped out along with the leader, it said he was dead, maybe this is a different character but I'm pretty sure that plant had a leader trying to do something with chems and and getting sight power. What would happen if you went to the brewery before that I wonder?

You know...a person can only take so much.
BoS late spoilers
BoS late spoilers
So I finish up another fetch quest for the useless BoS, only to be greeted by a pissed off Maxson. He proceeds to tear into my character, saying I knew about a certain traitor, won't believe my replies, so I walk away and hear, "Don't you walk away from me!" El snappo. I wasted him on the spot, then killed the entire BoS in the area. Guess I'll be picking a different path to end the game. 
I'm surprised they let you kill him. I've been disappointed with how many immortal NPCs are in this game.

Yep, this is a thing - though as far as I know it has no effect other than some additional computer entries referencing people you've killed. Just a neat little detail.

Assume they all do except for Dogmeat. The wiki has an actual list, but it has some pretty serious spoilers on the page listing which ones do and don't, so be wary if you look there.
Yes, here i am!
Fallout and everything else going on have been eating my time, so no Destiny :|
Well i found mine randomly laying about in the City area somewhere i think.

You may have to do the Eddie Winter case Nick's assistant has first to trigger it.

Great, thanks for that. I haven't seen any cash coming in so I guess all my settlers are busy!

I fucking hate how bethesda are handling some of the plot in this. (or most of it, really)
Regarding the Main quest and Nick Valentine:
God Bethesda,i thought i couldn't get more pissed at your shit-tier writing.
Regarding the Main quest and Nick Valentine:
I dropped dogmeat like 20 hours ago, but for some reason Valentine claims that i should sheck kellogs cigar with my dog dogmeat, because apparently its canon that the main character has a dog and uses it there. And when i leave Kellogs house SUDDENTLY DOGMEAT IS THERE, BECAUSE IT MAKES COMPLETE SENSE
God Bethesda,i thought i couldn't get more pissed at your shit-tier writing.

you can google companion guides online to tell you what they like/dislike and which have personal quests.
I'm using this page as a basic know-how
http://mmgn.com/xboxone/articles--fallout-4-companion-affinity-amp-perks-guide
I don't think this mentions the weird little likes/dislikes of companions though. For example certan companions like it when you drink in front of them.

Lol, that's just a convenience thing. Would you rather they made you go back to Sanctuary, track down Dogmeat, and swap him in as your companion? The things people complain about sometimes...
People just really try to find anything to piss on their writing.
I'e done the 2 detective case files if that's what you mean. There's no other dialogue options for his assistant either.

Yea fuck Bethesda, I wish they made me go through four loading screens and have to swap around the companion inventories instead, that's what fun is to me.

I spent 30 minutes look for dagmeat during that quest last night. I dont care about the writing and i should have followed the arrow but I ran circles around sanctuary deleting doghouses.

It is stupid that he just shows up, despite the fact he is chilling miles away, across a dangerous land with radiation, raiders, mutants, beasts, and robots. I would have rather gone and picked him up.
Inkvoterad

Or maybe a small adjustment if the player doesn't use Dogmeat? It could be as simple as "find a dog that could track it down" and shoehorn in some unimportant npc that has dogs in Diamond city, etcetc.
I don't have a complete solution of it, but forcing you into that scenario just feels really silly.

She also apparently has Power Armor training.
The male was in the military, and the female was a lawyer.
Only thing i can figure is, he trained her how to use guns and armor.
if THAT part annoyed you, you might pop a blood vessel at the part I was talking about. That dogmeat thing was just a convinience thing imo.
Companions act like they have known each other for long, because the game isnt in "real time". The idea is that as you get companions they would have spent time together. Its why everytime you get a new companion, when you send the previous one back home, they will have a little exchange between them usually, even tho they "just met"
I blame that on machanics, they wanted them to interact which is neat, but the game doesnt differentiate between time passed. Thats a mechanic thing, not a writing thing
And im not defending the writing, like I already said earlier, Im actually angry right now about something else lol

Actually I thought it was funny that Nick brought up dogmeat...I was like I just met you how do you know my dogs name...or that I own a dog.
Just for shits and giggles, I set my level from 11 to 275 and got all the perks. Holy crap, you can just look at people wrong and they're goners. Even with my dinky ass 10mm pistol, I killed things that would obliterate me before. Alas, I'm back to the normal game now, but now I have something to look forward to.

So due to me siding with
faction when I beat the game. I can't get
to partner with me anymore.
The Brotherhood
Preston
Every time I talk to him he just starts up the "you're a mass murderer" conversation.

That's what I assumed, I know people were just like its funny she just wakes up and just goes on a spree in the wasteland lol. Ots interesting.

That post is hysterical. Like really? That makes their writing shit-tier? I found the overall story to be pretty good myself. Then again, I think that person is just a more extreme minority or just baiting.
why did you expect any different? Im already expecting at least Danse, if not Preston, to tell me to fuck off when I go with the
Railroad
lol

To be honest I never really considered it. Hell, when
he talks about how you didn't let innocent evacuate that never really occurred to me. It also seems stupid that he won't ever join you, but still has to give you side quests. Probably should have fired me from my General position instead. :V

Every like 2 minutes rofl
This thread has shown me that, holy shit, people love to hate on everything. It's insane. I'm learning to ignore them though..
Like the one guy who was posting how upset he was at how he is wasting his time with settlements. Play another game then or just do the story. That's your damn psychological issue if you feel like you're wasting your life.
*rant over* sorry guys.
I thought siding with the BoS locked you out of minutemen stuff, I guess not
also,
The Institute
edt: oh shit,
Synth Gorillas
wnder if you fight any lol

Unlimited Capacity
I would rather they at least make an effort to do better than that. That was pretty indefensivle lol

Really wasn't feeling this game for the first five hours or so, but I managed to spend a bunch of time playing it this weekend and now I'm hooked. I think getting into Diamond City and kicking off some of the more interesting plot lines was the turning point for me.
In the first couple of hours, I thought the Minutemen nonsense was going to be a major part of the game, and I found it extremely lacking. Luckily, it really just seems to be related to the base building stuff and can be ignored if you feel like it. Really left a sour initial impression on me, but now I'm loving the game.
