Will there be a "War Table"?

As long as I'm not forced to play the time sink minigame, this is permissible. I don't really like the fact that anything in the single player experience is tied to multiplayer (you'd think BioWare would have learned their lesson after ME3), but you can't always have your cake and eat it too.

I think so, but off the top of my head I can't recall exactly which. 

That's exactly what I'm getting at. Locking the best ending behind hours of multiplayer (or doing the online time sink on N7HQ) was not good game design. This is essentially the same thing, but we know its effects in single player are largely optional and will not impact the actual ending of the game.

Depends on the console I think. I'm not sure how it works on the PS4, but on the Xbox One as long as you didn't have any operations running when you changed your system clock you wouldn't get the timers screwed up when reconnecting.

Personally, I'm fine with something similar to the War Table in MEA (these Strike Missions as they're called), but personally I'd like to see their time limits capped at one hour at the most, with the vast majority taking only ten to thirty minutes to complete.

Also it would be nice if we could just call up SAM on our omni-tool while out in the field and send out teams, rather than having to hoof it back to the Tempest every time.

Personally I didn't mind the long wait time for missions to be completed. Since Inquisition released while I was still in college I would play at night to relax, start one of the long missions and then go about my business until the next time I played, then I was surprised by the completed mission (mainly because I would forget due to exams or papers that I had started one). I would probably do the same with Andromeda as well.

Honestly I wouldn't mind something akin to the war table so long as it isn't explicitly required. I like the feeling of giving out orders and making decisions on a larger scale, granted ID only want a similar mechanic if it made sense story wise. As far as I know, Pathfinders dont exactly have ultimate authority. They're more like scouts.

I love the DAI mod that makes war table results instant.     Before I used it I was fiddling with my computer clock, which was tedious.    
 

I don't like finding out I killed an entire clan or something like that, two days or weeks after a critical choice. Not all the choices are that intuitive, at least on the first few playthroughs, for me. But they don't need to change the game for me...I can always figure out ways to deal with things that aren't quite to my liking. 

Honestly I never had an issue with the timing of War Table missions

Every time new ones pop-up, I look at all of them in the Dragon Age wikia page to decide which adviser is best suited to give most rewards. Then I strategically get them to finish the 15-30 minute operations while I tinker around Skyhold, crafting and chatting. Then I get them to do the hour long operation while doing a sidequest. When about to explore a new area, I let them do the four-hour operations. And finally, when Im about to go to bed, the 8-hour and up ones are on deck.

It really isn't hard. If you're doing a completionist runthrough of Inquisition wherein you plan to go to all the areas, you will have MORE than enough time to do all the war table operations before getting them to pick flowers, steal cloth, hack at rocks, make money. Dragon Age wiki *is* your friend and should be used at any/all opportunities.

Since I'm currently playing it you have to use the War Table for the following story missions/side quests:
All 3 of Josephine's Romance missions.
Killing all the Leader of the Freemen of the Dales.
Getting the amulet for Cole.
Getting the rune that disables Samson's armor.
Getting the info on the other The Elder One's minion (the woman can't remember her name)
Both of Cassandra's loyalty missions.
Inquisitor's specialties
Recruiting Dagna.
Finding the Dracolisks.
Finding the Battle Nugs.
Building Watchtowers in the Hinterlands which is how you get horses.

 
That is just off the top of my head. My problem isn't the War Table, it's the sheer amount of time, I don't have a problem with the ones that are 5 minutes-3 hours but when you have those ones that 3-24 hours and only have 3 people who can only 1 thing at a time is IMHO EXTREMELY STUPID! Some of them are needed to progress through the main story and/or side quests, and knowing which is which is hard for me to remember. My days of playing video games 8-12 hours a day are behind me I just don't have the energy and patience to do it anymore.   
 

I feel like everyone is focusing on the wrong question. Will we be able to bang on the war table if there is one?
