Question from user Scott McPeak at gaming.stackexchange.com.
Answer:
After some experimentation, I conclude that no, harming companions.
indirectly with Warding Bond does not affect their approval. They.
complain, but the complaints are inconsequential.
First, I'll note that the approval is available as a number, just in a.
different part of the UI than where I was looking. Specifically, in the.
"details" tab, it's near the bottom:.
Checking this number after each action, I discovered:.
Direct damage does affect approval. If my main character hits.
Shadowheart with three melee attacks (even fists), she will lower her.
approval by 10, and a message "Shadowheart disapproves" appears.
briefly in the center of the screen (not in the corner like for.
dialogue). Missed attacks have no effect on approval.
Complaint dialogue lines ("Watch it, oaf!") have no connection to.
approval. Any time she takes damage or is attacked (even on a miss).
and attributes the source of damage to my character, she has about a.
25% chance to speak a complaint line. (I didn't test with other.
companions doing damage.).
Damaging her indirectly with Warding Bond never affects approval,.
regardless of whether the damage is environmental or from an attack, and.
regardless of whether the damage incapacitates her.
