In Baldur's Gate 3, every companion has an approval rating for the player character. You can gain their Approval or Disapproval by making different choices throughout the game. Companions may approve or disapprove of the player's choices in dialogue, combat, and quest completion, based on their beliefs and goals. Every time a companion's approval rating changes, a message appears in the top left corner of the interface.

High approval rating is required for Romance, unlocks additional dialogues, and lowers the Difficulty Class for persuading the companion. Low approval rating may cause a companion to leave the party or even attack the player character.

Approval Thresholds

-49-40 Very Low Relationship is in danger. Character is likely to leave party if they disagree with another decision.
-39-20 Low Relationship is bad. Character may leave party if approval gets worse.
-1920 Neutral Relationship is neutral. Character has no strong feelings towards avatar.

81100 Exceptional Relationship is exceptional. Character is thrilled with and very easily convinced by avatar.

A companions current approval rating can be seen by examining their character sheet while they are in the party. The approval rating starts at 0 when recruited, and maxes out at 100. The approval rating can be negative. The companion will leave if their approval rating goes down to -50 or more, taking their worn equipment with them. Inventory and story items will be returned to the player character.
