I find it quite difficult to really cultivate either extreme of approval for most companions. It is too easy to step on their toes. In DAO you could form good teams/ evil teams that would mostly agree with your current course of action, but here it's quite hard. All have so different agendas. For instance, you're riddled with a whole bunch of whiny apostates. And if you're a mage, you're also an apostate. What if you wanted in your actions or conversations to agree with the templars?
Then there's Fenris, his hate for mages is so extreme, if he's present you can't help a mage or express any pro-mage opinion without him gaining a lot of rivalry. If you do or say something slightly crooked, Aveline gets angry. But then if you do something lawful, Varric or Isabela might not like it. If you reject gay advances, the gay characters get angry.
Some reactions are completely unexpected. You accept a mission or express an opinion, and someone gets rivalry points for no apparent reason. You can't fathom why he didn't like it.

In my first playthrough as a mage I managed to get everyone to full friendship except for Merrill with whom I intentionally cultivated a rivalry. Just finished a rogue playthrough where I had 100% friendship with everyone. It does require a bit of pandering and knowing who to take with you for certain quests, but it's really not that hard.
