When you hover your mouse over any interaction, the display in the top right will list all the effects that interaction will have, before you actually choose it.Okay, I got one for you. I went to Persuasion class twice, as per the WT and now I'm supposed to be learning Concentration from the Sis using the "small favor", but everytime I do it- I lose 20 Favor with her. Is that supposed to happen? Or am I still missing something or doing it terribly wrong?
In the case of using the "small favor" option, you'll see the readout "Cost: 2 charm, 20-persuasion & Natural Social favor". That means that using the interaction will cost you 2 charm (you start out with a measly 3 charm, but initiative training and some powers will give you more) and nearly 20 favor (at least in the beginning. Eventually you can raise your Natural Social and persuasion enough to nearly cancel out the entire cost of small favors).
As a different example if you hover over "invite them to go jog" you'll get
Cost: 3 charm, 10-persuasion favor
==BENIFIT==
+Leadership Love
+Natural Social Love
So you'll lose a little less than 10 favor, and gain love equal to your leadership + your natural social.
Interacting with people can be hard at the beginning. Billy is a total geek, but get your stats up and things go much much smoother. Social stats being the most important by far when it comes to interacting with people.
