I mean when I do finish the missions, I haven't gotten the points. I have about 1,100 affection points now from Vecotr. And I know there was at least three times that I got about 250 points for convos, unless that in itself was a bug, because that seemed like an awful lot of points for one response. One time it said I got 259 points three times in a row for three consecutive responses in one convo. :/ The past few days though no option choice in any of my mission convos are giving me points from Vector. Eventhough those same convos had a chance to give points to Mako.
Anyway, I should now have way more than 1,100 points by now, according to my responses from completed missions.
I may just have to just go with my original choices and stay away from the escape button and just learn to give lots of companion gifts.
