Opinion and Reputation

Opinion and Reputation measure how an individual is viewed by other individuals and society as a whole. It is in the best interests of the player to ensure their character is perceived to be honorable by their peers and subjects.

Codex
"The game tracks the opinion a character has of each other character that they are aware of. This opinion is based primarily on whether; - the character likes the personality of the other character - the other character has demonstrated honor, i.e. whether they have followed society's norms, or gone out of their way to be altruistic - the other character has earned respect, i.e. whether that have demonstrated strength or weakness - the other character has done things that have helped or hurt them - the other character has done things that have helped or hurt their's friends or enemies

Character portraits have a bar underneath that shows the opinion that character has of the character which your mouse cursor is over. If your mouse cursor is not over another character, the opinion shown will be of the character in the first quickbar slot. If there is no contrasted character, and your mouse cursor is not over another character, the character's opinion of you will be shown.

To see the detailed reason behind the opinion, focus on the character whose opinions you want to see, and the first tab (Feelings) will contain a full list of the opinions that character has of the other character.

A character's opinion of another character is partly personal, i.e. formed by the actions that other character has done towards them or their peers, but also includes a set of common opinions that are widely held about that character. These common opinions are that character's reputation, and correspond to the first three items in the list above. You can see a character's reputation by clicking on that character."
