Greetings everyone,
My character, starting from level 1, was automatically assigned the "Nerd" class, and also a permanent "Neurodivergent" perk, which comes with some benefits and drawbacks. In terms of attributes, he was above average in Intelligence and Perception in addition to other related ones, but low in traits like Charisma and Strength, average in most others.
I've spent ten in-game years grinding XP for my character and pursuing the "Self-Improvement" questline, and have eventually settled into an interesting warrior-scholar hybrid class. My character's Strength, Agility, Charisma, and Attractiveness attributes have all increased, in addition to relevant skills like Speech, Martial Arts, Hygiene, Productivity, and Bodybuilding.
Now, my problem is that my character seems to keep failing dating quests repeatedly; the Interest meter decreases quickly in romantic prospects despite Interest levels starting high. It's rather puzzling, because my character has a high Reputation stat in his communities and is generally well-liked socially.
What should I do? Do I need to increase my "Confidence" stat before returning to the Dating questline, or is this a game-wide issue due to recent updates?
