No second chances

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 2:44 pm

I thought that if we wasn't able to romance our companions there was a chance we would be able to later on with a higher charisma skill level. During my second playthrough I tried romancing Piper after reaching the highest point in the relationship and failed. I thought "Ok, maybe I need to raise my charisma." Well I'm at maximum charisma level and still Piper rejects me. She's just way stubborn. I don't know whether it's the fact I'm also romancing Curie or maybe she's not a lisbian (I made a female character this time) but she's put me in the "friend zone", which is definitely a dead end all things considered.

Its a one chance deal. I really don't like having the romance/flirt dialog tied to a Charisma skill check, I think it's a bit out of place and puts first time players at a huge unknown disadvantage. Not cool.

It's not a one-chance thing. I was "best friends" with Cait and later on went back and romanced her.

Did you fail the initial romance influence check and then get another chance at it later?

If you tried once then failed, but was able to do it later how did you do it? I'm at maximum charisma but still getting rejected. I got a message saying I'm at the highest relationship with her too.

Try sending them away, wait a few days and go back to them, they'll usually give you some dialogue again and the option.

I wonder if the personal quest thing was one time as well? When Nick first opened up to me, he said he wanted to share his past, I choose "I don't care" and he said fine and no more personal chats. Now I can't seem to activate the Eddie Winter quest.

I think you can only complete the dialog once.

However you can just wander off and that exits the dialog but leave the decision unmade so you can complete it later. My companions have a habit of starting these chats in the middle of the establishing or climactic cut scene of a side-quest that I'm trying to pay attention to. so I do that to them a lot.

Actually I don't have her as my follower. I cross paths with her here and there. I run into her in Diamond City and Sanctuary Hills. I have Curie as my companion. When I do see Piper she starts up the dialog that gives the romance option, but she gives me the "let's stay friends" speech.
