Piper is a journalist from Diamond City. Together with his younger sister, he publishes a newspaper that is read not only in Diamond City, but throughout the Commonwealth.

First encountered at the entrance to Diamond City (usually when completing the quest Pearl of the Commonwealth), it becomes available as a companion after completing the quest Plot of the Century or Reunion. The first one is much easier to do.

Piper is one of three women with whom romance is available.

Biography

Watching how Piper talks with the mayor of Diamond City, or with his secretary, one might consider her too arrogant and straightforward, but upon getting to know her better, it will become clear that she is driven by exclusively noble goals.

Her father once worked in the city's militia, but one day he died, and his captain, Mayburn, said that it was the work of raiders. Piper sensed the lie and began to conduct her own investigation; it turned out that Mayburn had made a deal with the raiders: he would open the gates to the city for them, and they would give him part of the loot. Piper's father found out about this and was going to inform the residents, but did not have time Mayburn killed him.

Piper told the measure about this, but he did not listen to her. Then she covered the city with posters “Captain Mayburn Wanted for Criminal Negligence,” after which the mayor changed his mind and sent the captain to four directions. And when the raiders arrived after some time, the residents met them prepared and fully armed.

After this incident, Piper considers it her duty to find out everything about everyone and inform residents about the dangers that await them.

Sometimes they tell her, “write about something funny,” but, as Piper herself says, after such reviews she wants to quit the profession. She believes that it is her duty to find out about hidden threats and warn people.

Her articles are known not only in Diamond City. After visiting Good Neighbor with Piper, you can hear the following comment:

Skills

Piper does not have any special skills, but if she becomes a companion, she will often offer something to eat.

Likes

Like other companions, Piper will have her own attitude towards your actions.

Like

• when you use sarcasm (not always);
• when you help innocent residents;
• when you successfully pick locks
• if you are a member of the Minutemen;
• if you avoid violence in dialogues.

I do not like

• if you are a member of the Brotherhood of Steel;
• if you give drugs to Murphy;
• when you steal;
• when you use intimidation in dialogue;
• when you give bribes or ask for money to complete tasks.

Unique ability (perk)

If you earn Piper's trust, she will reward you with a special ability. She will be active even when you say goodbye to Piper or change her to another companion.

To activate the quest, you need to make the character McCready your partner. He can be found at the Third Rail Bar. When McCready begins to trust you, in one of the conversations he will ask for help.

First of all, you will have to look at the Mass Pike station and deal with the inhabitants there, namely Barnes and Winlock. The station itself is located at a road junction, which can only be reached using a lift.

The second stage of the task will open later, when your relationship with McCready reaches 750. After this, your partner will ask you to find a cure for his son. Now you must go to Med-Tek Research and go up to the very top floor.

There is a password-protected terminal that only McCready can open. Then, when the alarm mode in the laboratory is turned off, go downstairs and go into the airlock. Inside the room you will find the medicine.

Finally, to complete the quest, your relationship with McCready must be raised to 1000. Then your partner will teach you a new skill, “Deadly Shot.”

B beneficial intervention

An additional task that you can take from your partner Kate. Once you become friends with Kate, talk to her to activate the quest.

Since you treated Kate well and became her true friend, she decided to tell you her secret. Alas, this pretty girl, right behind your back, takes the drug Psycho every day.

She wants to get rid of her addiction, and only you can help her. Kate will tell you about Vault 95, where, according to rumors, experiments were carried out on drug addicts. There, with the help of a certain machine, the addicts’ bodies were completely cleansed of this rubbish.

Once you arrive, get ready to fight with shooters, a stormtrooper, and a legendary raider. Enter the Vault and use the elevator. In the opened room, further movement along the corridor is blocked by laser traps, which can be bypassed through the terminal behind the door on the right.

The further path is linear, right up to the detoxification terminal. Behind the door is the very rehabilitation center you need.

After this, Kate will tell you about her doubts, but if you convince her, she will agree to sit in the cleaning chair. After the procedure, talk to Kate again and the quest will end.

Unpredictable behavior

First, you must make the Curie robot your partner by completing the "Nook" task. When you complete the quest “The Human Factor” (you need to save Amelia Stockton) or simply improve your relationship with Curie, she will ask you for a request.

Curie doesn't know anyone like her; she's never met robot scientists like her. For these reasons, she wants to transfer her personality into a synthetic body.

First of all, you must complete another quest from the main storyline - “Dangerous Thoughts”. Once all the conditions are met, talk to Dr. Amari about the possibility of transferring to the house of memories.

In a day, Amari will get the body. After talking with a member of the “Railway”, you will learn that this body was previously owned by the android G5, which later, due to memory erasure, became a “vegetable”.

When you end the call, the transfer procedure will begin. Keep in mind that all of the "old" Curie's belongings will not automatically transfer into her "new" body. All items will be placed in a box nearby.

It is high time

Can be obtained after completing the quest "Dangerous Thoughts". Nick Valentine's personal mission. When Nick starts treating you well, he will decide to tell you his secret.

Previously, when Valentine was not yet a synth, a policeman with the same name lived in his body. At one time, he voluntarily scanned his brain, thanks to which Nick-Synth learned about his past.

The problem is that the wife of the then Nick was killed by the bandits of a certain Eddie Winter. And since Winter himself still lives as a ghoul, you must take revenge on him. Go to the thug's hideout and punish the killer.

The difficulty of completing the mission is finding the shelter password. The savvy Winter divided the ten-digit code, recording each number on a separate holotape. You will have to find each of them.

- You will get number 1 in the BKOANTOLO office.

- Nick will give you the number 9.

- Number 5 is located in the Malden Police Department (PD).

- Number 3 in Quincy's PD.

- Number 7 at the Natick Police Department.

- Number 2 at Sheriff Nahant's office.

- Number 8 in East Boston PD.

- Number 4 in South Boston PD.

- Number 0 in Police Station number 8.

- Number 6 on the Coast Guard Pier.

With blind betrayal

The quest starts after completing the task “Prime Acquired”. Go to Maxson and report. The elder will state that your fellow paladin Danse is actually a synth, as evidenced by new data from the Institute. The paladin apparently learned of his exposure and soon disappeared. You are tasked with finding and killing him.

First of all, stop by the scientist Quilan and ask about Dance. During the conversation, Heylin will approach you and say that all the accusations about the paladin are actually a mistake, and in general, you are the traitors. Quilan will threaten her with a tribunal and demand that she tell everything about Dance. After receiving the information, go to the point.

Inside the underground complex, where Dance is hiding, you will fight robots and turrets. At the end of the level, Danse will finally show up and want to talk to you. He will confirm the elder's statement and ask you to kill him. Take the tokens from the corpse and return to Maxson.

Journalist Piper in Fallout 4- one of 13 possible satellites. Publishes the newspaper "Social Events" in Diamond City. In the same city you meet her for the first time. To make a girl your partner, do Plot of the century or .

Piper as a companion

Like other human companions, the journalist can be equipped with power armor, issued weapons and given various orders. Piper doesn't have a special Skill. From time to time she only offers all sorts of goodies in the form of Nuka-Cola and chewing gum. But with maximum affection for you, he will forever reward you with the Magic Language Ability, which gives you double experience when you discover new locations or convince your interlocutor.

Relationship

To improve your relationship with Piper, consider what she likes and what causes a negative reaction.

Plus for sympathy

The journalist likes it when your hero helps the inhabitants of the settlements, adjoins. Gets excited about hacking locks and terminals. Show her this as often as possible. Admires you when you wear power armor. Approves when issues are resolved peacefully. In dialogues with her, choose romantic or noble lines.

Minus to sympathy

She won't like it if you join. Does not accept theft and aggression in dialogues. She won't like it if you give Murphy drugs. Doesn't like it when the main character asks for cover for a task done or gives someone a bribe.

Novel

Having reached the maximum relationship level, it will be possible to start an affair with Piper. If your Charisma parameter passes a successful check, corresponding options for lines will appear in the dialogue with the girl. Flirting phrases appear mainly when you do what Piper likes. Once you become lovers, you will wake up together and will temporarily gain the ability Lover's Embrace (+15% experience).

It is not the first time that wanderers across the wasteland have been able to experience the sentimental side of human life. Fallout 4 offers you the opportunity to form a bond with another character, but it's not that easy - it's not enough to give gifts or explore all the available dialogue branches. Just like in real life, you will have to show yourself as an interesting and worthy partner.

Forming an attachment with a companion, love or friendship, is worth it in any case; if you make enough of an impression, a bonus character perk will be unlocked. A dog named Dogmeat is an exception to this rule; her relationship status is always at maximum, and perks are manually unlocked in the Charisma branch.

Available in Fallout 4, but only people are interested in relationships. This means you can't romance Dogmeat the Shepherd, Codswot the Robot, or Androids. Apart from this limitation, your love interests do not depend on gender, race, clothing - only on the behavior of the character.

How relationships work in Fallout 4

To have an affair with a companion, you need to reach the maximum level of relationship status with the companion (that is, become an idol for the companion), and then enter into dialogue, choosing the romantic branch of the dialogues and successfully attempting persuasion. Higher values ​​of the Charisma and Luck parameters will help with this, but there is a chance with low values.

Each companion has several levels of potential friendship with you, starting with neutral. The relationship status can become negative, and if you anger your companion enough, he won't stop traveling with you.

Your level of relationship with your partner changes depending on the character's behavior in the eyes of each specific companion. You don't need to be traveling with a companion for this effect to occur; if all your friends are standing around waiting for you, they might change their opinion of you based on what you do while you're there.

If you have multiple characters around you when you're in the workshop, or they're working with you on multiple missions, each will react differently to the character's actions.

If you want to improve your relationship with a companion or love interest, you should travel with them as often as possible so that they observe your behavior more often. If you're going to do something they won't like, it's best to send them away. Their field of view is quite small, so you can command them to stay put from a distance, but sometimes they can see you through walls. Save your game before attempting such actions.

Each time your relationship status with companions increases, a message will appear on the screen (such as "Piper tolerates you") and the characters will want to talk to you, which allows you to get to know them better. You'll know if they're up to something because they'll keep repeating the same thing; stand face to face with them to bring up dialogue options.

As your relationship improves, you may be able to flirt during these small conversations. Successful flirting requires good levels of Charisma and Luck, but there are no negative consequences for unsuccessful attempts.

If you want to know how the love story is going, stand close to your companion, open the command menu and select "Talk". You can select "Relationships"; As a result, dialogue changes as you get closer, and in the early stages ("neutral", "tolerates well"), clues can be gleaned about the kind of behavior your companion likes.

When you reach a high relationship rank with a companion ("Idolizes"), you will receive one more dialogue before unlocking the ultimate companion perk. Perform a quick save (or better yet, save the game manually) so you can try your luck with the romantic persuasion attempt several times.

Congratulations if successful! You're in a relationship in Fallout 4. When you sleep with your romantic partner nearby, you'll earn the Lover's Embrace bonus, which provides a 15% boost to experience for a limited time.

Tips for each partner

Please note that you can be in a relationship with every available companion at the same time, without any negative consequences. Below we will note what types of dialogues each companion prefers. Remember that everything changes depending on the situation. For example, Piper likes it when you respond sarcastically to people who don't like her, and she prefers you to be generous to the innocent.
