After building your character and entering the world of Starfield, you're given a whole slew of companions to choose from. The four main companions in the Constellation are the real focus, though. They even have levels of attachment to you, depending on your actions and behaviors towards them. Here's how to see exactly how much they like you!
How to use Companion Affinity Console Command in Starfield
In order to use console commands, you need to press the tilde key (the ~ below the Esc key) on your keyboard. You'll now be able to type in any command cheat you'd like to alter Starfield, including checking out companion affinity.
Starfield cheat to see how much your companion likes you
In order to test how much your companion liks you in Starfield, you have three methods in the form of different commands. To start, open the command console with ~ and then click on the desired companion. They should have an ID appear in the console box. For example, mine for Andreja says NPC_'AndrejaREF' (000059A9). After you have this typed in, enter one of the three commands:
- GetAV COM_Affinity - Their current overall feelings for you (ranges from 0 to 1300+)
- GetAV COM_AffinityLevel - A range of 0-3 (from neutral, friend, close affection, to commitment)
- GetAV COM_AngerLevel - Whether they are angry with you, scale of 0-2, ranging from least to most upset

Do Console Commands disable achievements in Starfield?
Any player who wants to use console commands in Starfield should be aware of the one big risk associated with them. If you begin using console commands in Starfield, you will lose access to achievements in Steam. From what I've seen, you still keep your current achievements, but you will not earn more.
If you don't mind using mods, you can install the Achievement Enabler mod for Starfield. Using this mod allows you to use other mods and console commands but still earn achievements. As far as I know, the Achievement Enabler mod is the only way to continue earning achievements after using console commands in Starfield.
