About this mod
**UPDATED TO 0.8** This mod changes the perks you get from companions after reaching maximum affinity with them. My goal was to make the perks more desirable/rewarding since you have to, travel with them for a long time, do and say things they like, and THEN do some wild quest for them to reach max affinity.
