How does one manage to get an amazing talent such as Sean Schemmel and give him the most awful companion possible. I mean seriously! You get an actor that gave voice to one of the most lovable and known characters ever and here he gives voice to a character that a lot of people don't use due to the fact that he forces you to avoid 90% of the game because he hates everything!
For those of you who don't know, Sean Schemmel is the voice actor of Goku from Dragon Ball Z, my favorite anime of all time that I grew up watching and still watch today.
This mod changes Strong's preferences just a tiny bit, so that he's not such a pain in the bunghole, but still leaves his other dislikes. So in reality, this will allow you to raise Strong's affinity without becoming a cannibal. The changes are the following:
Strong dislikes entering power armor > Strong is indifferent to entering power armor
Strong dislikes entering ventibird > Strong is indifferent to entering a ventibird
Strong dislikes lockpicking > Strong likes lockpicking
In more technical terms, I went into the Creation Kit, opened his NPC form, opened his Companion script and adjusted the mentioned events so that he does not dislike them. He will still comment about these things though.
That's pretty much it. I changed these small, yet essential values so that you don't have to hinder your gameplay to accommodate him all the time. I am someone who lockpicks everything, who hacks everything and is nice to everyone. I don't want to turn my character into a blood thirsty cannibal grade A a**hole just to make him like me. My affinity is dropping down at an abnormal rate, but I love the guy because he's funny. So now you can raise his affinity with lockpicking, since it is an impressive skill and he as a dumb oak that he is should be impressed by it, not hate it.
