And since you mentioned influence - I personally hope to not see it in P:E. I think it ruins the immersion and makes me care a little less about the companion - Especially if there are "prizes" for high loyalty. Instead of caring about this character as a person, he becomes a tool I use to gain some bonuses or to "max out" the loyalty meter.
Im oke with influence and such things, if you make it invisible. So that game won´t show "You gained +2 influence to Jaheira". I would like if there were one implemented in game so that you wouldn´t notice it. It would just run in background. And at some point of the game you would notice that some things you´ve said few weeks earlier made somebody angry or etc. But i think that you ment the same thing. I also know how it is to hunt influence point for Khelgar in conversations and it sucks.
