Trusting relationships are a guarantee to keep companions in the squad. You can maintain and improve your favor level with the help of gifts, which are sold from merchants in different parts of Amaranthine or obtained while completing quests. Sometimes in locations there may be places near which one or another companion will share his thoughts. As in the original game, a low level of trust can lead to negative consequences - the departure of a companion. The loss of each companion will affect the strength of the squad, as well as access to. Due to the short duration of the supplement, there is no time for love, so close relationships do not suffer. Gifts should be given taking into account the character and interests of the companion in the throne room of the Vigilance Tower, switching between companions directly from the inventory using the arrows and dragging the icons, which will save time on forming a squad and changing locations. A positive reaction to a gift significantly increases the level of favor. As the relationship improves, the chance to learn more about the lives of your companions will also increase. They prefer to start conversations on important topics themselves in the throne room of the Vigil Tower. It is better to give the main gifts (the last ones on the list) at the very end, when they are mentioned in the conversation.

In the Age of the Dragon game universe, there are many different ways to interact with your companions. One such way is gifts from Dragon Age - these are special items that can be given to party members for approval points. The rating can be determined both by the value of the gift and by the preferences of the recipients themselves. The number of items available for donation is limited. Usually the approval points for subsequent gifts are reduced, the lowest bonus can be +1.
In today's article we will take a closer look at gifts from Dragon Age: Origins. This is the very first part of the game series of the same name, which implemented the mechanics of gifts. We also note that only four companions from the first part of Dragon Age will be mentioned in the article - Alistair, Wynn, Zevran and Leliana.
How to give a gift?
Perhaps the main question that worries many: how to give gifts to companions in Dragon Age: Origins? In fact, everything is quite simple: just drag the desired item from your own inventory onto the required character, or right-click on the gift and select the appropriate option.
Approval system
Approval will be awarded according to the following scheme:
- Any gift can earn you +5 points. All subsequent presentations are accompanied by a penalty of -1 approval. Thus, the very first present gives us +5 points, the next one gives us +4 points, the next one gives us +3 points and so on.
- Having received a gift of a special type, the character will reward us with an additional approval of +5 points (the total bonus is +10). Penalties also affect the value of special gifts, causing it to drop to +6 approval.
- Approving a character with a negative rating results in a double reduction in the value of the gift. Thus, the regular category of gifts gives 0 points, the special category gives +5 points to approval.
- Once the rating reaches the maximum of +100, new approval points are no longer awarded.
- An increasing approval rating opens up access to new bonuses for companions. These bonuses are added to the main skills. So, for example, Leliana’s character increases her cunning with additional bonuses.
Special category of gifts
As we mentioned earlier, special gifts give the player +10 points to the approval of one or another companion. Exceptions are gifts related to the plot. If the gift is special for a particular character, all attempts to give it to other characters will end in failure.
