The pictures work great.
They are actually talking about different things although I totally see the confusion!
The first one is faction approval, where the second one is the combined respect of the other delegates.
To get credit for having lots of great skills you have to succeed at a 90+ check on I don't have it in front of me, but I think like 3-4 stats? before getting a better narration. Being great at only a few things isn't enough for extra kudos.
(I'm totally up to rebalancing down the line if it feels unfairly difficult to get praise in it's current state)
What do you mean the game ignores ending up with Ana? The endings should go (Conflict) - (Resolution) - (people you aren't marrying/romancing from the associated countries- rinse and repeat till everyone's done- you go back to your original home - romance specific section - friendship section - credits - epilogues. The specific person you married is only mentioned in their section and epilogues, otherwise the branching would be even more insane. Is the game ignoring you are married to her? do you not go to skalt? not get the epilogue? More details will help <3
Thank you again! <3 <3 <3
