Is it possible to show the companions' approval notifications even if their approval ratings are maxed out ?

I love knowing the characters' state of mind, and I find it sad to no longer see this information displayed.

The first time it happened was with SH and then Astarion just after, during act 2. I was doing the Gauntlet of Shar, and SH stopped giving approval. I thought it was a bug and checked on forums but it was something normal, it seems my approbation was at max (I play on PS5 and can't tell when I'm at 100, the only information I have is "exceptional" so I guess I'm between 80-100)

I was missing those approval notifications so much that I took an approval guide to see what exactly I was missing. It's not a great way to play, but I was happy to know this or that character should have liked this or that action.

When we have disapproval, approval notifications return (and stop again at the max). I do the important stuff I care about (companions' quests) at this very moment so I can see their approval notifications again. For RP reasons, this is important to me to see them, but It’s a painful logistics.

I think approval notifications (like disapproval) are vital to know how our companions and LI feel. Those notifications create an additional bond with our Tav/Durge.

(sorry for my english)

I also like knowing what companions approve and disprove of, even at max approval. Knowing their likes and dislikes from previous runs is a big help if you're trying to role-play as them.

I support the request of this thread.
It's something I've been thinking about these days too. No longer seeing the approval of a companion just because the relationship with them is at its best, I've always found it strange. It almost seems like that companion is uninterested in your choices, even if that's not like this.
