I'm sure it is unintentional (Or IS it) that you can spam pet Scratch to gain approval with Shadowheart, Gale, and Wyll in a crazy fast manner. Also, why does everyone else hate dogs!? Spamming pet on a dog for a few minutes feels like it cheapens your relationship with you characters. Maybe cap it at 2 or 3 times per rest? Mind you, it does feel a little better when your companions don't all hate you and would rather watch a mindflayer eat your brains than help you. Seriously. You'd think after a few days maybe they could care a tiinnnyy bit more? It's hard to feel invested in your party when everyone is cold and murdery towards you.
