When interacting with an NPC their approval ratings can increase or decrease. As they do their feelings towards the player will also change. Initially, NPC approval rating will be at "Neutral" upon meeting. As the approval changes, their greetings and dialogue will change slightly to reflect their relationship.

NPCs start at 0 with players they just met or recruited. NPCs current approval ratings are kept in their own Approval rating thread and change over time with interaction.
