FALLOUT 4
5 Best Dating Games If You’re Sick of Tinder
Romancing in Fallout 4 can lead to some great perks if you’re a smooth enough operator.
Players are able to romance twelve different companions. These buddies are usually brought along as support during your quest to find your missing son, but if you get close enough to them, things can much more intimate.
By pouring skill points into your character’s charisma, the game will prompt you with special dialogue options, making it easier to court your companion. However, most relationships require you to know the person a bit beforehand, having you complete missions for that one person so they begin to trust you more.
Eventually, the flirt command will appear, and successfully flirting over time will lead to an off-screen “hangout” and likely some companion perks as well. As you hang with certain companions, certain actions have various effects on your relationship together. For example, MacCready loves when you pick locks, steal, or haggles but hates chem addictions and murder, while Danse hates mean actions towards members of the Brotherhood but loves crafting and modding.
Fallout 4 is unique in that your actions even while not engaging in a conversation with a companion can affect your romance abilities with them in the long run. You’ll constantly be aware of what actions impress and which cause upset, and it does well to mimic how one might act around a crush in real life. Not to mention, it really does make all the character interactions memorable and fun, with no two personalities ever feeling samey.
