I know nothing about the cards, but their tone when you talk to them certainly changes.
One major example I have is with Vivienne.
I asked her if someday we might get together, and the first time she responded with "Don't be absurd, darling!" and then I noticed a while later that the question was still a choice, and she said "That's sweet, my dear, but no."
My dear seems to be nice, darling seems to be contemptuous.
I thought that BioWare said the cards represented how the Inquisitor initially views their companions and the more they learn about them (through doing personal quests) the more the cards change to reflect that new impression. I don't think they said it had anything to do with gauging approval or disapproval ratings although I assume you do have to have a certain approval rating in order to start their personal missions.
Considering the game is more 'realistic and adult' in it's handling, I assume you don't see the approval/disapproval ratings because it wouldn't be 'realistic' to have a gauge telling you how someone feels about you. Like real life, you have to listen to how they talk to you and act around you and infer from there how much they like you or not. I admit I was annoyed by this at the start, but seeing how much more interesting it is to just choose the options you want rather than the ones you assume will get you approval adds more depth I think.
That being said, does anyone know how to make the Iron Bull like you more? He doesn't seem to care about me much, but I don't think he hates me? I'm just curious because I have no idea what he likes or dislikes.
@Nicky, All the info I have on Iron Bull is here: this includes main quest choices and his approval. You would get a nice boost if you bring him along to fight a dragon or the Venatori, btw!
Here's what I've observed:
Dorian gets the snake card after doing the quest with his father in Redcliffe.
Dorian gets a card where he's handing you a white flower when you romance him. (It's really, really awesome; my favorite of all the cards)
Sera gets a card using her bow to make a lewd gesture between her legs when you do a Red Jenny quest involving fighting some noblemen in a small area.
Varric gets the terrifying blood-drenched card after the Fade event.
Varric gets a happier, partying in a bar card after either doing his personal quest in Valammar or getting the "Everyone plays cards" cutscene, not sure which.
Cole gets the white robes card after you do the quest with his amulet.
I don't believe Solas's card has changed, but I've done his "turn on Fade globes" quest and he has a card with billowing robes and his arms outstretched.
I haven't checked to see if Vivienne's card changed after doing the Snow White quest. Same with Iron Bull and the dreadnought quest in Storm's Reach.
I haven't finished any quests for Cassandra or Blackwall so their cards are still the same.
I have noticed that the cards for your advisors change on the war table as well, but I think that's a function of the type of mission, story, character, or incidental.
Could you screenshot the cards for me plz? Pretty plz? 
? xD
