1) There are three ways to receive new gifts:

You can find them while exploring the world - be sure to check all chests and cabinets

You can buy them from vendors - some merchants sell more than one gift

You can steal them from certain civilians - look out for the people marked in yellow.

2) It is not recommended to sell any gifts you find because you will not be able to redeem them. The same goes for giving them to a random person. Remember that if you give a gift to the right person, you can get 5-15 approval points. If you are not sure who should receive the gift, save your game.

3) Try not to give more than 2-3 gifts in a row to the same person, because you will start receiving less points for each subsequent gift. Generally, the best option is to give one gift per person per camp stay.

4) If most of your companions refuse to accept a certain gift, there is a chance that this item is a unique gift and you should “reserve it” for later or find someone who will be very happy to receive it. In most of these cases, finding the recipient will result in at least 10 points and possibly even opening a new conversation topic.

5) Avoid giving gifts while staying in the open world. Instead, always return to camp and once you are in the safe zone, start handing out gifts.

The first column in the table below shows the location of the gifts and you need to use below the table to find them. For example:

- M21, P1 means you must open card 21 and find the symbol P1

- M21, 1 means you must look at card 21 and find the merchant marked 1 (you must buy the gift instead of begging for it or stealing it)

- M21, 1 means you must look at card 21, find the person marked 1, and either start a conversation or steal the gift using stealing skills.

The second column displays the name of the gift.

The third column suggests who should receive the gift in order to receive the maximum number of points. In some cases (shared gifts), more than one person can choose any member of your team.

Important! You can increase your chances of unlocking general gifts by visiting certain merchants many times. Wine is one of the few examples here. You can also get some rare gifts by sending your mabari hound to find items from the environment, and if you're lucky, the dog will bring you something valuable.

Dragon Age: Origins - FAQ: Companions ​

• Talk to Leliana about her life in the monastery and express your admiration for her beauty. Say that all the novices in the monastery pale in comparison with her
• After completing the quest with Marjolaine, talk to Leliana at the camp. Ask her how she feels after what happened. Next, say that you understand what she is talking about. And then say that people change over time. If at the end of the dialogue Leliana noticed that you look like Marjoline, then this will be the beginning of your romantic relationship.

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.
