Hmm - I realise that some people would be very happy about the recent development making faction ratings NOT change during favour cases - but I would vote for bringing it back!
Then you'd have to decide what you REALLY wanted - the favour, or the rating! (or the tasty goodness of getting a rating you WANT, plus a favour!)
Admittedly, I will almost always take the favour, over any ratings change - but life isn't MEANT to be easy!

I would say, either make the favor effect the faction rating, or take the favor out of the "equation" or "program" for random faction favors. Most of my faction favors come up when I'm doing a favor, so I lose out on a chance to improve my standing most of the time. I don't know why other than the favors being counted as a case in the randomness of the program.

It would simplify things, as Morley says, to take the faction cutscene out of the favor cases. Then no one will wonder whether it affects their standing and just what that effect might be...
And I'm with cfm! If the cutscene is going to be there, then a message regarding the lack of effect should be there, but "affected" is the word to use, please......yes, I submitted a typo report on this already, in order to attempt to effect change.

I vote for leaving it as it is. Favors should not affect faction ratings. If its possible you can just make this cut scene unavailable in favors.

I say, take the cutscene out of the favor. I don't want favors to mess with the faction standing, but it doesn't make sense to get the message that the factions care along with the message that they don't, in terms of the internal story logic of the game, I mean.

Either way suits me - my problem at the moment is, most of my faction rating changes occur in my favour cases and not in the normal cases, so I don't get the chance to increase my faction standings more than doing the "little job". It's very frustrating.
Either allow faction ratings to change in favours, or only allow faction ratings changes during normal cases. That way I might have a chance of getting some!!!
