Notes

  • Disposition and creatures: The disposition formula for NPCs includes things like the player's fame or bounty. Those aspects do not apply to creatures. They use a pure personality and faction calculation to determine dispostion.

From what I can see, a creature's disposition towards another actor is calculated as (Creatures Personality * .75) + (Other Actor's Personality * .25) + Faction Modifier. --RichOfBalmora 07:48, 12 January 2008 (EST)
