so, hi, dropping by (again) with a semi-related question. i now like fenris SO much i just need to try out rivalry and friendship both (you've convinced me!)
i find it very easy to rival fenris as pro-mage mage(rivalry and i'm not even done with act 1), but i'm plotting out how to friend him (but just barely - gotta have it be a close finish for funsies) for a pro-mage mage.
am i correct in thinking that friend/rivalry is on a 100 point scale? that is, once you hit 50 pts. rivalry that you're a rival and then 100 points you're locked in? also, does that mean the romance merely needs 50 points to trigger or do you need more than that?
my reasoning is that just now i locked in rivalry with fenris. it took me 60 points of rivalry to do it. but i honestly can't remember if i originally picked up +5 friendship along the way (and so had to 'backtrack') or if you need 60 points to hit rivalry and then 120 for locking in (as in, there are 120 points either way and you need a percentage of them).
okay, maybe i'm not making sense. not even sure if this is where to ask that....
oh, and also, i see that some quests require existing friendship/rivalry to get further friendship/rivalry, but the first 'gift' quest does not, right? the book one?
To friendmance Fenris as a pro-mage mage:
Don't take Fenris on certain quests (Act of Mercy, giving the letter to Thrask).
DO take Fenris on anything involving slavers. Always kill the slavers or better yet, let Fenris do it. It makes him happy. This is actually why I ended up friendmancing him: I kept killing slavers, and he liked me for it.
Back him completely during A Bitter Pill. Let him decide what to do with Hadriana. Once that quest is complete, things like gifts will increase his tendency in whichever direction you're going.
