The rapport level will change as a player progressed through the story to unlock new quests to get to know each companion. For example, certain companions may react negatively if your character steals from an NPC or they may react positively if you give to an NPC.
Name | Mirri Elendis | Bastian Hallix |

Companions will level up as you gain experience with her. You can select companions to be a tank, dps or healer, and assign her skills to her skillbar. You cannot, however control companions' skills individually, so you'll have to rely on the AI to use its abilities.
