Yea wish he would get out of that (non bug, non mod) on occasion. But then again I am constantly in PA wearing a bathrobe, a suit, or a red dress (cause it cracks me up when a dude steps out of a PA in high heel red shoes and sequin).

You know you do get his PA from the BOS! It's yours in the bay. I just returned it to him. Is that the one you're talking about? I use the X01 for me.

They try to bring it over to console eventually, so I'm sure you'd be able to take the PA off Danse. I like him in a brown checkered shirt. The one Curie has. He looks like one of those guys you see in American Eagle poster. lol, that or the stay at home dad white shirt. It just fits him so much. Actually, anything would be better than that ugly hat he has to wear all the time and the giant power armor. Danse is my favorite romance in a while with MacCready comes close second. It doesn't help his lines are pretty pervy during a romance, it's like he has a different side to him.

I always played fallout with full charisma, so far, I've succeeded every single one of the dialogues, would I still need it?

I can't wait to romance MacCready on my second playthrough tbh.

And honestly, Danse is incredibly attractive. 10/10 would bang. And if you're like me, you do need a tank like him to protect you at times. So romantic

The graqe mentals are on the table. I had 8 Charisma I think... Been awhile. You can try without the drugs but make sure you do a hard save that you can load up in case it fails to either save Danse or romance him. Weird thing is he turned the romance down even though I was flirting with him any chance I got and thought I had pretty high Charisma. He also idolized or adored me or whatever the max affinity word is at that point. The graqe mentals did solve the issue. You can just take them, he won't like it but all your dialog will be smooth.

My character is a sniper, so it doesn't work well with MacCready, Danse would just tank everything while I snipe out people. Yeah, Danse is probably my favorite male romance. He's shy and adorable yet manly and righteous. He sounds like a freak in bed as well since he sounds pretty pervy everytime you're close to him and waking up. lol. Although MacCready is probably more kinky though with the Muitfruit comment.

I think I like MacCready because you are both in the same situation, just 2 spouses looking out for their son after losing their significant other. It's just like it was meant to be in a way.

I'm more of the easily scared kinda player. I walk around the Commonwealth pressing VATS every 2 seconds to see what's around me. And if I get scared I just run behind Danse

His innocent and rugged looks could make any girl go native and cross the border.

So, I've already discovered the whole thing about Danse, I've kept him breathing and all but I don't see any flirt dialogue option, not even after Talking to Maxon.

Is this supposed to happen at all?

You need raise his affection. You can't flirt with someone if they want to punch you in the face.

I mean, I was on his side at all times and loved every single thing I said.

Mine was Hancock, but well Danse is adorable.

Mad about the PA thing too, although after Blind Betrayal he was walking around in his undies for a while.

Has he idolized you?

Not on this conversation, but yes, he previously has.

That's impossible before Blind Betrayal. If you failed the flirt then the romance may not appear the first time. After the last idol conversation and you still can't romance him, keep playing and raising his affection then he'd initiation a different romance conversation.

I've romanced Danse on my first playthrough and it was amusing enough, I guess, but geez were the flirt options cringeworthily inappropriately timed... Like yeah, my superior officer, I get that you're upset at having to order one of your men to euthanize another, but consider this - we should totally bang...

On my subsequent playthroughs I opted for forever alone, since I found out I prefer the company of X6-88 to all other companions anyway.

Once you finish Liberty Reprimed you will get Blind Betrayal.

Here's http://imageshack.com/a/img903/9249/546AOb.jpg and http://imageshack.com/a/img908/6404/A7tY8D.jpg, the start of a beautiful romance! He is such a handsome guy. I love his whole character, his honor and integrity. When I stand close to him, he sometimes says "I like it when you are this close"

He doesn't fit with my character because he yells at me when I eat people so I shot him in his "too good to be a cannibal" face and than ate him.

Yes, he has great ambient quotes, like the one mentioned here. He also starts out as impassive (initial relationship check line = I don't see how that's relevant to this discussion), but gets progressively more caring and personal as you raise his affinity. It seems genuine, whereas other companions have a more gimmicky "I underestimated you" kind of arc. I wish they'd adjust his companion-to-companion and post-ending BOS dialogue, though.

With all this and the BB bombshell, I honestly think he's the most interesting companion in the game.

I'd probably dress him in Maxson's coat.

Yeah, I really underestimated Danse when I first met him. Now on my newest character I'm letting him hang out at Red Rocket exclusively, with a bedroom decked out with a BoS flag. I'll probably romance him again...just because it seems like the most fitting opportunity out of most of the companions I have seen (exiled from Brotherhood, nothing to live for, identity flipped on its head...then you express you will always be there for him and give him something to care about). Though the funny thing is, I've only done male characters so far... I have yet to romance Danse with a woman lolol...

To be fair if the game were to have sixual orientation, he would be the prime candidate to be gay.

MacGreedy: Married with kid

Hancock: slept around with many women in Goodneighbor.

Preston: No, just no. He's settlementsixual.

Danse is basically so focus on his work, and he doesn't have time for relationship. He never had any feeling for Haylen though despite how close they are to each other. I also like the aspect of two male soldiers supporting each other on the battlefield, so I usually pair the male SS with Danse and another one with MacGreedy, I probably will make a female one for Hancock since he seems like the bad boy every girl dreams of and every father's worst nightmare.

It is nice, though, that the orientations of characters are deliberately ambiguous, despite both the SS and MacCready having been married to the opposite gender. But, eh, who is to say that in the post-apocalyptic wasteland your character, being spouseless and in a strange new world, wouldn't find themselves growing fond of whatever allies they can find. My thought is that my characters, if they choose to flirt with and romance characters of the same gender, do so because they highly value the companionship and (in Danse's case) mentorship they offer, judging them by what's on the inside, not by appearance, gender, or even what faction they belong to. Sure, some may be purely fun flings, but others are more meaningful.

PS: LOL at Preston's settlementsixualism

I think Danse is the most ambiguous, and I like that part about his relationship. He falls for you because it's you. That's how I interpreted his relationship.

Depending on how you role play the game. For my MacGreedy, one of my characters love his wife, and that there could only be one woman for him and that's his wife. He could never be with another woman because she's the only one for him. That doesn't mean he can't open himself up to another man (Giggity). Both his wife and MacGreedy are special people to him, but there is only one special man and one special woman. I find MacGreey and the SS's relationship is very touching due to how similar they are, they both lost their wife, and they both care for their son. In the end, they found comfort in each other because they can relate to each other's situation. That, alongside with the wife's tape, leading him to siding with the Institute.

For my Danse's file, it's more about falling in love with the person. He doesn't see Danse as a man, he doesn't see Danse as a machine, he falls for Danse because he's Danse, because of what a standup Danse is. My SS becomes Danse's support pillar because he wants to give what little happiness Danse can find in his world. Danse himself said that for the first time in his life, he's happy. He feels for Danse, because just like him, Danse has lost everything he knows, his world turned upside down.

I haven't figured out the story I wanna tell with my female SS with Hancock yet, probably just want to piss off her dad in heaven by dating a drug addict. j/k

I agree with you, especially concerning Danse. Hell, I didn't think much of Danse, myself, IRL, until I upped his affinity.

And that's what's great about the relationship aspect of this game (no matter how limited some aspects of it are) : it really can be open to personal interpretation, and you can tell your own story even if other people who play the game see things differently. Someone can make a male character and only romance the female companions, or romance just a single one, staying monogamous, and vica-versa with a female Sole Survivor and a male companion. Or romance every romanceable companion because you can.

I feel that if I create a new female character...I will have her romance only Danse, even if she may do the "safe" MM ending (I wouldn't want two characters to both side with BoS, but that's my choice).

On my last playthrough, I ignored the first two flirts and waited to initiate the romance after his personal quest. I liked this much, much better. It felt way more natural.

I think Curie is really ambiguous as well and some of this is because they are synths. At baseline synths are probably pansixual and have to be programmed or strongly conditioned to have preferences one particular way or another.
