Lae'zel disapproves
In Baldur's Gate 3, every companion has an approval rating for the player character. You can gain their Approval or Disapproval by making different choices throughout the game. Companions may approve or disapprove of the player's choices in dialogue, combat, and quest completion, based on their beliefs and goals. Every time a companion's approval rating changes, a message appears in the top left corner of the interface.
High approval rating is required for Romance, unlocks additional dialogues, and lowers the Difficulty Class for persuading the companion. Low approval rating may cause a companion to leave the party or even attack the player character.
