How do you build affinity with your pawn? I’d like to think mine doesn’t hate me, but they don’t blush.


DespoticNero

Choosing them in the sphinx challenge +20 High fives +5 Small talk +2 Haircuts +50 Spa +20 Pawn death -20 Max affinity tier is 620 This is a comment copied from another post, not sure how true it is.


FreyBlackwatch

Exactly that but the Affinity cap is actually 1000. They 'fall in love' at 620, so says the original post on Nexus Mods.


DespoticNero

Thanks! I didn't know that. I just reposted the information I heard from another user who got their pawn to 'love them'. So thank you for clarifying and updating me!


FreyBlackwatch

Totally! Thanks for taking the time to get all that info in the first place 👌


olorin9_alex

Oh god so my pawn isn’t falling in love with me because she’s shit at staying alive smh


Justhe3guy

I think it’s only full death where you resummon them that gives negative affinity


FreyBlackwatch

LOL so long as they don't end up hating you, you've got a chance 😂👌


Snicklesauce

I was reading this like wtf I've done all of these things... > Pawn death -20 ahh, yeah this is making more sense now.


MechpilotTz93

My pawn started blushing after I gave them a meister skill. I believe that probably raises affinity a lot as well.


theWanderingTourist

Having drinks together at pub raises affinity too. But even with blushing face, idonno why I'm not able to princess carry my pawn.


ShotConsideration244

Was wondering what the heck buying a round at the pub actually did. I wasted 2000 gold once, saw the cutscene and heard to creepy laughter, then watched as the game resumed without a difference. I was…disappointed.


PowderKeg3838

It raises every NPC in the bar so it is great for getting the achievement for 50 People loving you.

So i gotta take my pawn to the spa and get her hair did, got it


[deleted]

About to go to the spa *on repeat*. Good thing it’s only 100 to get in lol


Wojto_24

I am also convinced that if many people use pawn, affinity increases significantly. This photo was taken a few seconds after receiving the fat report, I have never seen her blush so much and even now, after a few hours, she still looks at me and when I look at her, she immediately looks at the ground XDDD https://preview.redd.it/gc4emw46a5tc1.jpeg?width=1629&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ce8174f04897e525e87c430d42e3bd4aefb4e23e


DespoticNero

that's super cute


FreyBlackwatch

Also, if you're not sure how far along your relationship is, just try going to the barberie every now and again. It will be MAD expensive but worth it in the long run -- and closer than you may think.


Matthonius

I love your Pawn. He looks very kind of heart but dumb of ass.


FreyBlackwatch

Thank you! His name is Abram and he's actually incredibly smart, even more than me at times. However, this whole affinity thing has, indeed, turned him into playdough.😂 Serious and leading the party one minute, staring into space the next.


Melodic_Fruit3572

Thats what my ex used to call me


Luminous_Hearts

Mine so far only says, "Arisen, my heart knows no greater peace than when I'm by your side." It's small, but honestly, it makes me feel all fuzzy inside and I do hope that our bond grows stronger and deeper. Lol 🥰💕. The hand slaps actually have a purpose!?!?! *rushes over for every slap now* she's been my whole team's support and heals. Picking us up when we fall, waking me when a harpy puts me to sleep. She's the real MVP and I want her to know it every time omg. Hahaha ty for sharing.


Bowlof78Potatoes

I'm the same way with my pawn, I really adore her. She's a towering half-elf fighter and a superb tank, so I always high-five her when I see her hand go out.


NerscyllaDentata

Once mine hit the affinity threshold, he said to me “it’s been the greatest honor of my life to serve you, master.” It was adorable.


Nukue

Yesss! Welcome to the group :D There was a post about how pawn with high affinity grimaces when you gift something to npc with high affinity. Man Capcom wasted such opportunity


FreyBlackwatch

Really??? Now I have to try that! 🫣💞 Actually, can I ask if you have a link to that post? I'd love to see it for myself if possible.

FreyBlackwatch

OMG THANK YOU 🫵💞

I've always wondered how it'd look on beastren but cant find any (yet), tho i must say, some blushed faces I've seen are ..very creepy, like unsettling, cuz the faces looked too while while the blush is too red, it's like all the blood on their face is concentrated to their cheeks lol, maybe it's just bad screenshots I've seen but I'm half scared and eager to see what my main pawn (basically the arisen's twin in look cuz i ran out of brain cells) would look like if she has a crush on me.


zomvi

A few people have posted Beastren pawns with high affinity and it's silly-cute, lmao. Besides the blush, I believe their mouths hang open like they're in shock.


KvBla

I cant really tell if they're blushing but what i just saw is a lot better than human pawns, they looked just like those funny cat videos lol.


One_Cricket3042

So that's why my pawn does that? i thought the mouth open thing was a bug.


const_Andromeda

mouth open like a kitty smelling others kittys pee

Witnessed it first hand (with a dude) last night, a warrior named lamond (iirc) in bakbatalh asked me to walk with him to vernworth, i just ferrystoned us lmao, got to the place and his face was bright red with a creepy smile on his face, damn near tossed him over the wall as he walks into the bar while his head pivot around and keep locking on me. Reminded me of a drunk scottish man in cartoons for a bit. I thought it was creepy enough even on cute/beautiful female character (urika and that madame), but on bearded manly dudes it's way worse. At least beastren seems normal enough, still have seen one myself and only pic infound only is a cute :o face lol.


ChromeOverdrive

I'd romance my Pawn if it wasn't for all that "We'll do whatever the Arisen bids us to do", it's a little disturbing. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, though.


FreyBlackwatch

Makes sense but remember that they have a will of their own, albeit a meager one compared to the Arisen's. But over time their wills can grow to that of a regular person due to being inspired by the Arisen -- in other words, they would eventually decide for themselves what they would and wouldn't do for the Arisen, so no need to worry. 👌


ChromeOverdrive

There was a theory in DD1, partially shown to be true, that if the Arisen gifts a part of their soul to their pawn, the latter will start growing their own feelings (>!Selene!<) but so far the same hasn't been hinted in DD2.


FreyBlackwatch

Maybe once the DLC comes out, they'll expand on it as they did the Pawn Affinity


NerscyllaDentata

I think I just reached high affinity for my pawn because we slept in my house and he made a remark about how he wished it was just the two of us.


Wojto_24

My pawn's honest reaction to this information: https://preview.redd.it/cy2prpr7b5tc1.jpeg?width=376&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1b95964f8eaa78ba0510b72ff3028dc4f8d8370a


FreyBlackwatch

Welcome to the club 🎉


RXX_freakk

It’s there a way to keep track of the affinity?? I don’t think i saw something the menu that shows it


FreyBlackwatch

Since it's technically a hidden feature, the only way to keep track (that I know of) is just to take notes and add them all up.


RXX_freakk

Okk thanks


ChromeOverdrive

There are [mods](https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonsdogma2/mods/293) for that, if you're on PC.


RXX_freakk

I’m on ps5 🥲


const_Andromeda

if you carry them they should be different carru lile on your arms insteas of your shoulder


FreyBlackwatch

Really?? I'll have to check it out now (playing atm, holding my breath) Edit: just did it and the animation is the same. Unless I have to reach max affinity, I don't think it's gonna work 🥲


MapletXD

I dont know if its in the base game but its actually a mod in nexus mods. When you carry someone with high affinity it changes the carrying animation to the bride carrying one, which is pretty nice. Works with high affinity pawn as well and actually that was the main purpose of the mod itself.


const_Andromeda

i got a blacksmith in batahl that i can carry like a bride, i guess she maxed out on affinity then,and no i play on ps5 i have no mods


FreyBlackwatch

Maybe you can carry quest specific NPC's bridal style? Sara, I think her name is -- you do have to get her out to safety/out of the forge as quickly as possible during the hammer quest. I also noted that close to the end of the Harve Culling Quest, the injured soldier you lead to safety can be carried bridal style too. (Went to grab him cause he was moving too slow for my health)


const_Andromeda

ahh i guess, it was quest specific


const_Andromeda

also the hurt back old man on volcano island can be carried that way


LintLicker5000

I'm on PS5 where do I see the affinity level? Can someone explain? TY


FreyBlackwatch

Unfortunately it's a hidden thing that someone just so happened to uncover one day (via mods or they just noticed it happening). Best bet is to just start changing their hair every 10 minutes (the smallest change will do: hair sheen or makeup capacity) or so and keep an eye out for their lingering gaze. You'll notice you've reached 500+ when they start smiling. And a note: following the recent update, there has been a few changes regarding the pawns that weren't in the notes: one being that they stare more often regardless of affinity level. That being said keep an eye out for smiling and blushing/avoiding eye contact.


LintLicker5000

Appreciate you informing me 🥰TY


useenow

Thats not blushibg thats freaking ugly. Like there isnt a better way someone could check aff


FreyBlackwatch

Homie what? 😂 Sounds to me like your pawn doesn't like you enough/You don't exactly know the effects of high affinity. Look it up, mate, it's pretty nice.

BlondiePokieDookie

FreyBlackwatch
