Ok,what is up with this? All companions like the diplomatic/Humerous/scarcastic and helpful Hawke,all being rude/direct/wanting a fight Hawke get's is rivalry.
I understand why this is,but i want my next playthrough to be as an agressive Hawke since i never played him before.I'am wondering,what companions get friendship through agressive Hawke.I read somewhere that you get friendship if it's in the right context.I'am also aware that is has probably been asked before,but im curious.What do you guy's think?

Just don't be agressive when you talk to them.

Untrue, they get rivalry if you are gressive to certain situations, but it depends on the Scenario.
Bring Aveline/Carver/Bethany/Anders/Fenris and they will get +f for growling at Merrill first time she uses bm.

It depends on the companion. A lot of aggressive dialog gets friendship from Fenris. More often then not though, aggressive Hawke gets +rivalry out of people for being a dick.
Fenris -- likes you aggressive or sarcastic best. Also Anti-Slavery, and pro-templar.
Aveline-- likes you diplomatic best. She's neither pro templar nor pro mage, she's pro-kirkwall.
Isabela and Varric -- like you sarcastic best. a Sarcastic Hawke is a fun Hawke. Bela likes fun, and Varric's not really up for causing trouble with out getting paid, even if he does or doesn't necessarily agree.
Anders and Merrill like you Diplomatic and Sarcastic best -- they're fragile characters who like cheerful people. Merrill likes it if your not anti-blood magic, and Anders pretty much falls-in-love-forever with you if you're pro-mage AND nice.
But, it also depends upon the conversation too. Sometimes being aggressive will ****** Fenris off or make Anders really happy..
Like KoD says above, pretty much ALL your companions are all
<3<3 at you for being aggressive "WTF BLOOD MAGIC, DEMONS R BAD" at Merrill when you first meet her.
So while each companion acts differently depending on your tone of voice (aka, are you being an **** for the sake of being an ****) there are some situations when the tone matters to them as well.
Its very nuanced

There are just so many permutations to what reaction you get, I find it best to play a particular way and go with the flow.
I must admit I had played through 4 times with Anders and kept ending up with him as a friend because I generally I prefer being either a diplomatic or a witty character, so then I opted for the aggressive dialogue when giving him my opinion about his merging with Justice, his threatening Ella, his refusal to tell me what he wanted to do with his ingredients, and hey presto I finally managed to end the game with him rivaled.
By contrast, because I am against blood magic, even though I am always diplomatic with Merrill, I have always ended up either totally rivaled or on the rival side of the barometer.
With Isabella I have only managed to achieve sufficient friendship to keep her at the end of Act 2 if I flirt with her. Hence my guys always get to keep her but only one of my girls did, because the others were hetrosexual and the last one was trying to get Sebastian, so was not allowed to flirt with anyone.
So there seems no hard and fast rule about dialogue types, it depends entirely on the particular character and what you are talking about at the time. However, when you think about it, if someone disagrees with your opinion in a pleasant way, you are far less likely to resent it than if they are blunt and rude - though you might be suspicious of their intentions.

When I did my aggressive/evil character, my logic for not using those responses with the characters I wanted friendship with was that, "the companion is one of the two people she actually likes and gets along with, so she'd joke around with them."
In general, I found its difficult to just go by "always choose the aggressive option," because sometimes that just makes you come off as passionate about an issue you're actually against. Right now I'm doing my diplomatic, pro-templar playthrough, so even tho most of my conversation choices are diplomatic, when talking to blood mages and demons it makes sense to be aggressive.
