Will character disapproval lock me out of content?

I've played through Inquisition a couple times, but I've never really been clear - is the approval system here more like DA:O's, or DA2's? Namely - if a party member *dislikes* me enough in Inquisition, will I get access to their personal quests and such, or do I have to have high approval with them?

More like DAO. If you don't have high enough approval, you won't get their quests.

So I guess I do have to be best buds with everyone?

Not really. More like avoid doing things to piss them off too much.  

Some quests are available right away by talking to them, like Blackwall's Warden artifacts. Dorian's quest to kill Venatori is available, I believe, as soon as you arrive at Skyhold (it's on the War Table). In contrast, some personal quests are locked behind main quests or other actions. You won't get Cole's quest until after Adamant, and you won't get Blackwall's until after both Adamant and the ball. You won't get Iron Bull's unless you specifically talk to him about the Ben'Hassrath and do the meet/greet with the Chargers. It also helps to take him dragon hunting.
