Hey, amateur modder here. I've been banging my head against a wall for a while now, trying to fix this issue: whenever I finish the intro quest and the companion is succesfully added to the companion recruitment pool (the message on the top left appears), interacting with him to recruit him won't do anything, he doesn't react. I have checked, double checked and triple checked everything from quest alias, quest data, scenes, scripts, conditions against the same stuff from other vanilla companions like Piper and Gage, but it seems like it should work. It's the exact same thing. My girlfriend is also making a companion and hers works, while mine who has the exact same conditions won't.
I'll attach a few screenshots, maybe someone can help me spot something I've missed. If any other screenshots are needed, please let me know.
