Can you date Piper as a girl in Fallout 4?

ByJames Dorn Last Update on

As an epic Fallout 4 fan who has played through this awesome game many times, I can definitively say yes – you can fully romance Piper Wright as a female player character!

How Romancing Works in Fallout 4

Fallout 4 has a detailed romance system built in for companions. By carefully choosing certain dialogue options when interacting with companions, you slowly build affinity over time. Once affinity hits its maximum level, you can trigger new dialogue trees that lead to romantic interactions!

Specifically for romances, you want to focus on selecting "Flirt" and "Romance" dialogue choices whenever possible. These give major affinity boosts compared to other chat options. You also need to pass any Speech skill checks related to flirting – having a high Charisma score helps enormously with this.

This holds true regardless of whether you are playing as a male or female character. The companion unlock requirements and romance mechanics work the same way.

Getting to Know Reporter Piper Wright

Piper Wright is one of the earliest companions you meet in Fallout 4. You‘ll first encounter her arguing with Mayor McDonough of Diamond City around the center field stands.

As an intrepid – and often reckless – reporter, Piper is constantly sticking her nose where it doesn‘t belong in order to root out corruption and injustice. She publishes the Commonwealth‘s most popular paper, Publick Occurrences, which frequently gets her in hot water with the authorities.

Piper‘s curiosity and questioning nature make her a uniquely engaging companion and romance option. She often challenges the player character‘s decisions in order to understand their motivations better. And that honesty and willingness to "speak truth to power" can be very attractive characteristics as you adventure across the wasteland together!

Romancing Piper as a Female Character

Many female Fallout 4 players choose to romance Piper across multiple playthroughs. This romance arc offers awesome interactions that really enhance the overall gaming experience!

GamerChick123 on Reddit provides a great perspective:

"Piper was my first companion and I loved adventuring with her! Her sarcasm, wit, and skepticism of everything going on in Diamond City felt like the perfect qualities for an intrepid reporter. I played as a female character and really enjoyed getting to know Piper through the flirting dialogue options. Her romance arc was so fulfilling and added a wonderful extra dimension to an already exciting game!"

So what are some tips for players who want to romance Piper as a female survivor?

Build Up Your CHARISMA

Having 6 or higher Charisma allows you to pass the initial speech checks that lead to flirtatious banter with Piper. A Charisma score of 8+ makes romancing much easier. Invest perk points here or use gear/chems to temporarily boost Charisma when chatting with Piper.

Flirt Often Early On

Initial conversations present Flirt options that give major affinity gains, so take them! Save frequently and reload if you fail speech checks related to flirting.

Travel Together

Having Piper as your companion allows more opportunities for flirtatious dialogue when you interact while adventuring. Bond during shared combat and exploration.

Do Interview After Reaching Maximum Affinity

Once you reach maximum affinity, Piper will offer to interview you. Do the interview and select the flirtatious dialogue options to further advance the romance.
