It isn't infalliable though for the brief time I had it on, I took an action that only listed Major+ to a certain town, but a few steps later I also got a Minor - to a different town (which makes sense). It shows you what the effect of your conversation options are I believe it shows the strength of the effect for faction reputation and simply what reputation it will increase for personality reputations. Show Personality/Reputation: This one is off by default even with Expert Mode off.Not really that big of a deal, given the number of slots you have and how often you'd rest with Expert mode on.
