The whole rivalry and friendship system in DA2 seemed to conclude that rivalry wasn't really a form of hatred against the PC but rather a form of disagreement. As of such those characters could still be romanced and still allowed Hawke into their homes as though he/she was their friend.

Now I'm not against the rivalry bar but I think there needs to be a hate-like bar as well. It would make sense for a character to hate the PC if they perform certain extreme choices that that character is against. It could also allow for more depth in character development. For example having a character that likes the player but at the same time has a rivalry with them. Of course naturally this means the "friendship" side would need to be called something else if the hate-like bar was to be implemented again.

On another note if the bar was scrapped all together and the system from Origins returned I would be happy with that. In another instance maybe rivalry will lead to some hatred this time. I can't really imagine a templar companion liking a blood mage who delights in killing other templars. Likewise I don't suppose a mage would be able to get along with a PC who is anti-mage and has made several mages tranquil. DA3 needs to be realistic here.

Mage Companion: "Oh hey, I'm a mage, I don't like how you've made hundreds of mages tranquil, restored The Templar Order with even more power, preached about your utter hatred for mages in every chance you've been able to, killed my family and caused the deaths of the majority of mages in this world but I love you. Let's have sex."
Inquisitor: "No. **** off."
*Rivalry + 25*
Mage Companion: "Oh Inquisitor! I yearn for you even more now! Please marry me!"

Please no...

Lol I could use that for Fenris- he was the only one I rivaled. At least Anders had the "I have an insane spirit possessing me hence my craziness" excuse. Fenris just remained a shirvled up bitter elf.

I dunno, some Rivals can get nasty. Or be passive agressive like Varric lol

OK. So what happens if I max out both the Friendship bar and the Hate bar? I bet that's doable by carefully selecting who to bring on which quests. :P

Still feel Friendship and Rivalry should be excluded from the main character's main issues. I mean, whether or not you were friends with Alistair didn't matter if you killed Connor, he was always upset with you.

I personally didn't care for the whole 'friendship/rivalry' bar. If I hated Anders for never shutting up about mages being repressed but still wanted to help mages, I should have been able to do so without screaming at him that mages should be caged and then freeing every mage I was able to behind his back.
