How can I gain Curie's approval quickly?
Solution 1:
Incapacitate Dogmeat then heal him up with a stimpack while Curie is nearby. Wait three hours then repeat.
Solution 2:
I just found a great way to raise affinity for Curie. This requires you to be somewhat neutral with the Institute (i.e. if you run into synths in the Commonwealth, they don't attack you)
If you go south east of Tenpines Bluff you will find a place called Skylanes Flight 1981 with a Courser and a few synths roaming around. Walk up and talk to the Courser (he won't start any actual dialog, just tell you that he respects your combat skills) and you'll get a notification that 'Curie loved that' and he is very farmable. I was almost done with getting Curie to idolize me so I only had to do it twice before I finished. Hope this helps.
Solution 3:
The Fandom wiki actually neatly summarizes what actions garner you your companion's favours, and what actions they disapprove of.
Taking into account her creator's desires, her role, programmed personality, and degree of freedom and self-governance, the things she values are readily inferred. Curie's databanks include the works of Immanuel Kant, Charles Darwin, Alexander Braun, and Alan Turing, providing a foundation for her humanistic ethics and broad scientific interest.
As a rule-of-thumb, CVRIE appreciates:
- selfless acts,
- being supportive of others,
- trying to resolve things peacefully through dialogue,
- responding positively to settlers that ask for help, and
- showing appreciation of and defending robots in dialogue.
Interactions of the Sole Survivor that express these considerations will generally have a positive impact on their relationship with Curie.
More specific examples include:
- using Stimpaks on Dogmeat,
- showing support for the robots at Graygarden, especially in conversations with Supervisor White, and agreeing to help them during the Troubled Waters quest. Although not really repeatable, there are several moments to gain favour with Curie.
As repeatable interactions, Curie loves:
- Being expressive of an optimism towards the future of mankind through dialogue, and
- being defensive, selfless, and appreciative of synths when speaking with Desdemona.
Solution 4:
Curie seems to be a rather simple robot, but some of her affinity gains are a bit harder to get. To raise her affinity you need to be a nice and generous person. You basically have to offer help and give your stuff away to help others. One example of this would be giving the alcoholic in diamond city a nuka cola. On the other hand she hates the killing of non hostiles, theft of any kind and selfish behavior such as asking for more caps. Hopefully this helps you get your affinity up and avoid any drops that may occur.
