Improving group members reactions

In the guide book it gives a list of each group joining NPC and what to give them if they start to dislike you. Such as a bottle of Wine for Soggy Mead Mog. I have tried this, but nothing happens. I have used the items on the NPC's, put them in their inventorys but it dose not help any. Can anyone give some information on this?

 

How much is "really dislike?" ? Sogg Mead Mug is SUspiciouse of me (#33 reaction) I guess thats what happens whan a fellow only has 5 beuty.

 

An interesting way of getting a better reaction from your followers is allowing them to die in battle and then resurrecting them. They become quite fond of you after that. The trick is, though, that you must not kill them yourself. Just strip them of their armor and weapons and send them into a fight against some tough enemy, stay outside and watch them slaughtered. Then dispatch the enemy and use scrolls of Resurrect or that tech potion (forgot its name, can be bought at any Herbalist) to bring them back to life.
