Affinity in
Fallout 4 is a measure of your
Companions approval of your decisions. High affinity results in unlocking their
Companion Perks and
Romance options.
Technically, affinity is an actor value, typically starting out at 0. and is maxed out at 1000. When affinity reaches 249, 499, 749, and 999, it will sometimes be temporarily frozen, while the companion in question will try to talk with the sole survivor. This could just be a simple chit-chat about how they appreciate you, or the start of a new quest. Occasionally the affinity will continue to be frozen until the corresponding quest has progressed sufficiently.
A companion's affinity will naturally rise slowly as they and the sole survivor travel together. This increase is not announced like the actions mentioned below, but can be observed nonetheless.
In addition to the classifications shown below, there are other specific actions that affect affinity, typically associated with approval or disapproval of certain Factions.
The following is a look at how in game actions affect companion affinity. Note that Dogmeat has 100% natural affinity and is not swayed by your in game decisions. Also note that the chart is only a general guideline, and your companions will sometimes react differently according to the context of your action. For example, if someone doesn't like you for being too generous, that doesn't mean they won't appreciate it when you are being generous towards them or those they care. For more details check out the specific companion's page.
