Will it be like DA2 with the friends or rivals, or will it be something new?
Has there been any word on the approval system?

I get people liking the idea of having more than one variable to track. In theory, that sounds like it would be more realistic. In practice, it would be a nightmare. You'd end up doing one of two things: 1) having far less reactivity to the individual variable quadrant in which you end up, or 2) having way more lines.
Seeing as followers already cover one-third of our total word budget, I find it unlikely that we'd balloon them even further. Yes, relationships can indeed be made more realistic if you throw even more variations and words into the mix--but there is a point at which that simply becomes impractical. If we ever attempted such a thing, we'd likely also greatly reduce the number of potential followers in the game. And getting to the point where you have so many variables in play that the reactivity to any one of them becomes almost insignificant is not much better, I'd say. At that point I'd almost prefer to yank out the numbers altogether.
