My theory is, that the added option to imagine a friendly dinner with Gale (instead of a kiss or a punch in the face) that was supposed to lead to friendly relationships, was not associated with such relationships. Simply because the friendly path does not exist. Instead, when you choose this option it is registered as a "punch in the face" and the "relationships" progress on the path of harsh rejection. With everything bound to it.
Nah, they just screwed up the triggers with the patch. I played it out again in a playthrough where we were buddies and in the original playthrough (played out before patch 3) he responded as such. Playing it out again now, we suddenly aren't anymore.
Never got the weave scene in that playthrough so it's unrelated to that. Just purely approval based and now it treats you as if you have low approval with him.
