Just another one of those little annoyances that keep adding up. Pointless "feature".

The entire way they implemented companion gifts is kind of broken, at least compared to how they did it in DragonAge. in that game, there were a limited number of gifts you could buy. The whole idea of making someone like you by giving them the -same gift- over and over again is kind of silly. Seriously, why don't they just have gift cards or something, and just put 10k credits on it - I'm sure most of my companions would rather just have the cash.

probably to discourage people from just making any choices they want and then nullify it all by giving companions gifts as an easy way to go around it. imo they should take the gifts out of the game and make it all based on your choices.

I agree, the cooldown should be removed or at least reduced some something like 5 seconds.

Good thing Cedrax takes courting items, too, since Lt. Iresso is maxed.
