I agree that it's different that these companions are too friendly from another from the start but a) it's not weird or bad to have written characters that are just willing to cooperate and work together, especially when we're a close tight knit group and b) sure, while some more interpersonal conflict would be nice at times, the fandom has been clamoring for companions who are actually friends with each other for 15 years??? Like the complaints about DA2 and DAI are always like "why do these people hate each other after seven years?"/"the Inquisition's inner circle feel like coworkers" and those are of course valid complaints and yes, there's a balance between everyone being friends and people hating each other but this is also kind of what the fandom asked for. People still say to this day that DA2 is a found family game, now we have a found family game. Turns out everyone hates it.
