Yup. This is basically what Yahtzee says.

If the reward for getting close to companions is a sex scene...I could just google "porn" and find something better.
If the reward for getting close is the getting close itself, then that can actually be impactful. Connecting with and learning more about companions is like half the point of party-based RPGs.
