Depends on the companion. E. g. I doubt the githyanki society rewards intentions; you either fail or you succeed. So I don't think Lae'zel would care about you trying, same for Astarion. Shadowheart on the other hand remarks on it if you try to free her from the pod, even though you fail.

Right. That's what I was saying earlier too. I actually think it is just fine as is. Lae'zel is, for the most part, a person who requires results or she's not impressed.
Yep. But I'd still like an option to hide the messages, because they get annoying quickly (and also sometimes are immersion breaking, since Shadowheart can disapprove even if dead). I don't pay attention to the approval metrics anyway.

I totally agree. You shouldn't really know how they view you. You should only know whether they like you or not based on how they respond to you during dialogues and whether or not you trigger certain dialogues at all. Although I might WANT to know how best to appeal to certain characters to make them like me more or whatever, this is not something I SHOULD know.

Maybe they could make it another option in the Settings. Turn off approval acknowledgements, etc. or something like that.
