Okay gang let's figure out how to make our new lady friends happy and/or make them want to punch us in the face.
Post whatever findings you're reasonably sure about, and/or things you've tried that did or didn't give rapport changes. This will obviously be a work in progress, and I'll update the OP as
laziness time permits.
(My testing was done with a template character who automatically got the companions unlocked. I haven't done any of the actual companion quests. I'm using the LootDrop Reborn addon for rapport values.)
