It's best to ensure they're a long way away or in another cell. If you need to do something they won't like, you should send them away.

If you wish to increase your relationship level with a companion or love interest, you should travel with them whenever possible, in order to maximise the opportunities for them to observe your behaviour.

(you also get an unadvertised boost every time you ask a companion to travel with you, resetting after each quest) If you've got multiple people around you at a Workshop, or working with you as happens during some missions if you bring a companion, they will each react individually to your choices. You don't need to be travelling with the companion for this to take effect if your friends are all standing around Sanctuary Hills waiting for you, for example, they may alter their opinion on you based on what you do while you're there. Your relationship level with each companion changes depending on your character's behaviour while in a particular companion's view. Relationship status can dip into negative, and if you piss someone off enough they won't travel with you any more. Higher Charisma and Luck are a help, but you have a chance regardless.Įvery companion and love interest has several levels of potential friendship with you, starting at neutral. In order to romance a companion, you need to get them to the highest level of companion relationship status (they idolise you) and then engage in a dialogue, selecting the 'romance' dialogue option and successfully passing a Persuasion attempt. Apart from these restrictions, your love interests don't much care about your gender, race, dress sense or looks - what they care about is your behaviour. There are 12 potential companions, but - without going into spoiling territory - there are reasons why some of them are not available for romance. Note that Dogmeat is an exception to this rule his relationship status is always at maximum, and his perks are unlocked manually in the Charisma tree.
