In DAI, I switched between party members via my F keys, and built them for quick access to my preferred abilities or potions/tonics/ grenades. I found tactical lacking in DAI, but I do prefer the faster combat of maneuvering on the fly.

I've upgraded my Metacritic avg. scores from 6-7 to 7... mostly due to the rumored CC tweaks improvements.
I believe Bio richly benefitted from their decision to release the CC specs. The studio obtained data that their "super CC" wasn't so for valid reasons and had the time to make some positive changes (I think) before gaming sites reviewed the game.

What have you heard that's been changed?

I started "da4" in October 2015 and so after 9 years of effort (minus 3 months on Andromeda) I'm quite excited for tomorrow and the launch week. I don't know if I'd say nervous, I feel pretty confident in the product, but definitely that eager kid before Christmas feeling 😊.

Nothing specific but my view is that some CC sliders now actually do something... like a wider range of body morphing, as an example. Perhaps they've added/modified base face models to include a wider range of looks (Bio's inclusivity mantra) instead of only including meh (my opinion) default models. Let's not forget hair styles of which BG3 offers good ones.
Betacritic scores will be positively affected by these changes, imo.

That is very good to hear.
I'm back to work tomorrow, but I'll try and check in every now and then. Good luck!

Oh, my. These old bones haven't felt something like that in ages.

^ Lil bit of a missed opportunity to make Arcane Shot like DAI's 'Energy Barrage', where the skill takes up your staff's elemental properties. I loved that spell.
But this looks cool, though. And it leaves your enemies with a burning sensation. O.o
Go Evoker staff Mage, there are some items and skills that will let you do a staff-themed energy barrage rather frequently 😉
OMG 1st playthrough with my main, 110%!!! 🙌

*staying away from the Launch Trailer as I don't want to spoil anything. I've watched a bit of the Character Creation video, maybe 5 minutes...and I've listened to Vows & Vengeance which I enjoyed. But I really want to be completely blown away and surprised by what I see when I finally get to download and play the game myself on Friday or Saturday. So after today I am going dark.

I feel like an odd ball. The only time I ever saw tac came in DAI was when you are forced to during the prologue, and even then I just immediately close it without doing anything. The only time I ever switch to companions is when I need a lock picked or a wall kicked in.
The only real worry I have is how the Inquisitor's presence is gonna actually be handled. I went from "10 years of opinionated but trying to keep my expectations in check" to "hopeful" to "not hopeful" to "bemused and confused about whether to be hopeful or not" over the course of this 2 months of marketing ramp up. I'm pretty sure I'll enjoy most of the rest of the game, but if I'm gonna complain about anything, Inquisitor has a high potential to be on the list. I hope not, though.

...HOW IS IT THAT IT'S JUST 4 DAYS AND IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE STILL MONTHS AWAY!?
TIME IS AN ILLUSION!
I'll explain, I'll explain!
Something something, time is relative, something something, blah blah.
It's scientifically proven that a long awaited game release is creating a black hole effect on reality. If you await the game - you have to watch it get frozen in the event horizon.
First review score has been leaked at Opencritic, as to not spoil anything you can look it up right now
Uh... I was a bit worried when, at first, the score seems to be -1, but that appears to be a result of the full review technically not being published yet

*puts scholarly glasses on* Is it the game release that creates the black hole effect, or the level of anticipation of ravenous enthusiasts?

Ah, yes. My favorite collectables in all DA games. Always in pristine condition. Opening the bottle ruins the collector value. I had potions for an army toward the end.
