In [[Baldur's Gate 3]], every [[Companions|companion]] has an approval rating | In [[Baldur's Gate 3]], every [[Companions|companion]] has an approval rating towards the player character. You will gain their '''approval''' or '''disapproval''' based on the choices made, whether through combat, dialogue, quest choices, or other decisions. | ||
Approval and disapproval is most often indicated in the top-left corner of the screen while in dialogue. Approval changes outside of dialogue are displayed in a box similar to those shown for inspiration gains or quest updates. Rarely, a character's approval may change 'invisibly', with no message displayed. | |||
Dialogue with companions will change based on current approval rating, and might also affect the [[Difficulty Class]] required to [[Persuasion|persuade]] them. [[Romance|Romanceable]] companions have different thresholds required in order to begin or continue the romance. | |||
Approval can be viewed on the character sheet in two places: | |||
* At the bottom of the Summary page, displayed as a coloured bar with the player character's portrait on it. | |||
* At the bottom of the Detailed View page, between Saving Throw Bonuses and Tags. This will show the actual numerical value of their approval. | |||
In either location, hovering over the approval rating will display a short description, as seen in the table below. | |||
In a multiplayer session, each companion will have a separate approval rating towards each avatar. | |||
== Low Approval == | |||
If a companion's approval drops to {{color|#cc3f49|-50}} or lower, they will leave the party permanently, taking with them anything they had equipped. The contents of their inventory, including any | |||
Companions will give two warnings (once at {{color|#cc3f49|-25}} and once at {{color|#cc3f49|-40}}) before deciding to leave. | |||
Casting {{SmallIcon|Friends Icon.png}} [[Friends]] on companions will lower their approval by 10 when the effect ends, '''regardless of game difficulty'''. | |||
