Generosity: Sharing loot equally or buying rounds at the tavern appeals to loyal crewmates. Dominance: Intimidating enemies or winning duel challenges appeals to submissive or power-hungry crewmates.
Visual Cue: The crewmate's portrait in the UI changes expression, and they begin to taunt/tease the player during combat with voice lines ranging from professional to flirty.
