Giving gifts to NPCs is one of the best ways to increase affinity and can be done easily, though it’s not made immediately clear how this mechanic works. If you want to give a gift to an NPC, follow these steps:

  • Interact with an NPC (Hold B on Xbox, Circle on PlayStation).
  • During the dialogue pop-up, hit the gift button (X on Xbox, Square on PlayStation).
  • Select a gift from your inventory.
  • Select “Yes” on the pop-up that appears.

The option to give an NPC a gift may not appear on some occasions. This often occurs when there’s a questline to be completed involving the character or if they are directly tied into the current stage of the main story.

If you encounter an NPC ans cannot give a gift to them, return at a later date and try again. Remember different NPCs favor different gifts and opting for a gift they dislike can result in their affinity decreasing.

Completing certain quests and making certain decisions also influences the affinity of an NPC to your character, which can also be directly affected by your behavior towards other NPCs—so tread lightly.
