Basically just what does it mean and what does it? (referring to companions)

[Jeffonl1]

Several companions can be 'hardened', or changed, through your choices in a quest (the affected companions side-quest). The hardening has some major storyline consequences, mostly applicable to the end game.  It affects the characters' dialogues, and the overall attitudes of your party.
Hardening is a personality change of the companion.

It means you're making them less naive/childish about certain things. You essentially tell them "buddy you gotta start looking out for yourself because the world is not a nice place." You should read the wikia page: Hardened for the specific scenes/dialogues where Alistair or Leliana being hardened or not makes a difference. (spoiler alert, of course)

Personally I always harden them both. A determined Leliana makes more sense with what she ends up doing in DA2/Asunder, and an assertive Alistair makes the Landsmeet and its fallout much more interesting.
