So many gifts are missing…

Add “Blue Satin Shoes” to the list of gifts for Leliana.
Add “Painting of the Rebel Queen” to the list of gifts for Sten.
Add “Silver Sword of Mercy” to the list of gifts for Leliana.

Add “Painting of the Goose Girl” for Sten (heck, assume any painting is for Sten, the codex says he likes them).
Add “Wine” for Wynne.

Missing the following still:

Found Cake – Found with Hound at the tree outside Lothering.
Dirty Pair of Pantaloons (this may be a throwback to Pantaloons of BG2) – Also found at the tree outside Lothering.
Silver Bracelet

As far as I can tell, none of these work with Morrigan, Allister, or Leliana. Being that the hound is already at 100 for me, I can’t test on him either.

I’m beginning to wonder if the Tribal Necklace belongs with Morrigan, as it only gave +5 for me instead of +10 like the Small Carved Statuette did for Allister. Unfortunately it’s gone now so I can’t test it on anyone else.

Still missing “Ale” “Silver Bracelet” “Shiny Gold Ring”

Otherwise, great list. Thanks!

Wine is for Wynne. Gave me +8 for the first and +7 for the second.

Ale – Oghren – Gave +6 both times – had 2 of them
Wine – Wynne – also had 2 of them, gave +6 both times

I have found some items that are not on this “complete” list. Great work though.

But to some of you guys testing what gifts go to who. Save before you try to give it to someone. If it doesn’t come up with the +(1-10) you wanted, load and try it on another character.

Also, what is the point of giving your dog the bones and meat? He is already on 100% and as far as I know it can’t drop. I usually give it to Sten just to get that little extra out of the grumpy giant.

A LOG of stuff is missing. Silver bracelet, gemmed bracelet, painted skyball, small silver ring, etc. So the guide is NOT complete. Still, it is useful.

Well Jon it only give +3 and +2 for Zevran :S Tho it depends a bit on current ratting.. Only Oghren remains tho still need to get to him :P. I hope it didn’t change with new patch we will see (I play PC version BTW).

White Rune gives a +9 for Wynn, the Steel Bracers are a +7-9 for Alistair.

Morrigan does not like the “Gold Earrings” or the “Silver Demon Head Ring”

the head ban is f or zevron +5

After some testing, seems some items such as giving Wine to Wynne will be best given earlier (when you do not have high approval with them). Wine when given to Wynne when I had only 24 approval rating landed me +9. If you wait to give to her after your approval level is higher such as 50ish + it will net you less points.

Basically, give the “cheap” items such as Wine, Ale, misc Jewlery etc.. to your party members early on and save the plot items for later on for a big boost to progress their story lines.

^^^^ ment orange not red oops

Oh. I must add i have not tested this. It is just univerial truth.

Thanks for compiling all of this, and thanks for everyone else that had something useful to say. It was all very helpful.

And i found another item called “Tangled Ball of Yarn” the dog found in West Bracilian Forest by the Big “friendly” tree.

After speaking with Ohgren and him saying he liked the surface, the painted skyball got several points from him. Previous to that, it only gave 2 pts or so, just FYI.

I’d swear the small silver ring worked for Zevran, but in my second playthrough, nothing, so might have to do with dialogue as well.

and on a side note, i just found a special encounter where you pull a log out of a tree stump and some lady hails you as king. Cameo from monty python and the holy grail

You are missing Garbolg’s Backcountry Reserve.

I got it after i sent the dog to look for something twice in the circle tower, near the party member exchange area

I have completed 4 playthroughs now, on each playthrough i gave all the dog bones to SHALE wich gave me +3 each time, i guess they’re meant for him more than for the dog as its allready 100% and can’t drop.

The “Silver Demon Head Ring” gave +4 (or it may have been +6) for Sten.

The “Gold Earrings” are for Oghren (giving +4). Presumably he believes the earrings will look nice with his beard. ;)

No one else’s Mabari located the “Found Cake”? I havent tested who that will raise approval for. Good doggy!

The nug can be given to “Leilina” or however you spell that rogue’s name. Either way, it’s an excellent give, she will adore it so much + the nug stays in the camp, meaning you can hear it squealing beside her.

JOY!!!

To the people saying crap like “I won’t be returning to this site for information or “this list is worthless”, please provide a link to your better updated, more complete list, or kindly and with all due respect piss off.

Having said that, thanks for the list – I wasn’t even aware that the different gifts gave varying bonuses to each character – though I guess it makes sense that Morrigan would like shiny baubles after you go through her personal story chain…

Pity that Bioware decided to send out their game before it reached beta status. I got Lelianna’s approval rating to 100% and yet I cannot get her to show anything but warm and there are no options text wise. Nice going Bioware. Suggestion; next time you send out a buggy POS game like this warn people about your incompetence or at least get the game out of beta status before you send it out.

Funny how none seems to figure this out. It wasn’t that hard. Here’s the deal:

The first gift you give to any character will give a +5 extra approval rating no matter if he/she likes it or not. Next will give +4 and so on until you are down to +1. It will never drop below +1. Above this is given the bonus depending on what type of item it is in the three cathegories below.

Major plotline gifts:
These items will only be accepted by one character and they give about +15. Any other character than the designated one will refuse the gift. All these gifts give cut scenes.

Minor plotline gifts:
These items will be accepted by anyone of your characters but will give a +5 bonus if you give them to the right character. If you give them to any of your other characters they will give according to the any gift cathegory.

Any gift:
These are all gifts you give to the wrong character or that don’t have a favorite character and that is accepted by the character. You recieve no bonus for these but you will still reviece the +5-1 mentioned before the three cathegories.

I’ve found a number of gifts that seem to match no character that I have found (and I have all the listed one’s). I origionally looked this site up because I thought I might have missed a few companions. Apparently these gifts are just worthless gifts that will only give the +5-1.

Or there are more companions that none have found and posted about..

wynne likes the Silver Demon Head Ring

Gold Earrings: +3 for Wynn

I would assume that they work for Sten best.

All those Bones “lamb, Ox, etc.” are more beneficial if you give them to Sten. He tends to enjoy them so don’t waste em on Dog since Dog is already maxed and it wont matter.

all is about the character.for example zevran likes gold silver…,morrigan like jewels(Neaklace)…etc.:D

the things that the dog found arent good for any party member.give them random

try to learn the tipe of gift that is fit for the party member.if you learn this,you can rise their approval to 100 in no more then 5 minutes.

who gets the steel bracers?

Hi to all who have posted, as rightly stated before depending on your characters current appreciation of you depends on their rating of gifts, I generally find it easy to romance Leliana, Zevran and Alistair at the same time which saved me time and gifts. If you are female kissing Alistair raises his approval of you and so does uh… bedding him…. Lelianna approves of your relationship with Zevran (if you have one) and will sleep with you if you don’t have one.
Alistair – Only romanced by female warden
Zevran – Bi
Leliana – Bi
Morrigan – Only romanced by male warden
Can someone give me the ‘preferences’ of Sten and Oghren?

Sten’s only romantic interest is Dog. It’s very difficult to get them together though. Keep trying…

who is the painted skyball for

Garbolg’s Backcountry Reserve is for Oghren

good
