Carver's starting approval rating is Rivalry (+50); he will receive an unavoidable Rivalry (+5) in the prologue.

Friendship[]

Carver takes value in proving his worth to his family and comrades. A responsible Hawke who keeps their family out of trouble and allows Carver to make his own mark on the world will gain friendship. He is adamant about an apostate Hawke avoiding the suspicion of the Order, thus supporting the Chantry's actions and siding with Templars over mages will net his approval despite his vocal disdain for the Templars themselves. In addition, choices which appeal to Carver's pride as a Fereldan or otherwise benefit other Fereldans will garner friendship with him.

  • Legacy (quest): Sides with Larius Friendship (+5)

Rivalry[]

Carver despises being inferior to his sibling, so verbal put-downs (direct/aggressive dialogue choices) will make him dislike Hawke. Reckless and criminal behavior, as well as consorting with Kirkwall's seedier elements, will also grate his nerves. Despite his sympathies, he does not approve of instigating conflict with the templars or of his sibling getting involved in related affairs as it brings attention to Hawke's nature as an apostate mage. As showing one's pride as a Fereldan makes him like you more, dismissal of the heritage will make him disagree with you.
