Bug

• pc Companions may only be able to gain a single value of approval with no diminishing returns, and furthermore only reach neutral or warm status regardless of approval rating.

• ps3 Sigrun may get a sudden +100 boost. This happened to me in Kal Sharok when given the Snowglobe.

One cause is a conflict with some user-created mods, especially those that alter/tweak combat rules. A temporary solution is to disable these mods when giving gifts. Please see discussion for specific details.
