I actually feel as thought the approval system may be a bit misleading - whether or not companions are with you to see various things, and how you resolve them - whether they pop approval markers of not, do seem to have a lot more weight in determining what happens, than the basic approval rating you can check.

Feels like everyone is standing in line to speak when we camp. I hope they can iron out the kinks so these conversations can occur simultaneously at camp. No reason that a party member at High Approval has to wait for one party member at Neutral to have their spiel.

Or at the very least, that they DO, in fact, wait... that you can't and won't miss out on them, and that they'll just wait in the wings to play as soon as there's a free camp evening.... even if you build up several event flags waiting, they'll just wait to progress one at a time in order as you camp successive times. Anything would be better than having them fail to fire and missing out, just because they got to like you *too much* for the earlier scenes.
