Will the squadmates actually have brains this time.

I would love to have the utility of DAO's tactics menu again. And I don't believe it's even that hard to code, the logic behind most of the actions you can assign are pretty binary, like something someone with a basic knowledge of excel can come up with. Whatever passed for AI in DAI was frankly embarrassing. Running off to attack someone on the otherside of the room, AOE nukes on single targets, taunting before enemies were in range, barriers on ranged characters away from the fighting, the list goes on. I had to sadly pass up on using Varric/any squishy melee dps ai character/buff mages because they were effectively useless. Sigh, I miss the DAO days when tanks were tanks and mages knew their buffing priorities.
