I *think* by now it's clear that there's no tactical view separate from tactical camera mode, based on this quote by Allan:
"As a note, the tactical camera didn't actually exist in DA2 either. So in the sense of the franchise, the tactical camera for the PC is a return to a camera mode that allows you to detach the camera from a character and move the camera around.
I think you're thinking that it's some sort of additional camera mode on top of something else, but just to be clear it is not."
(if I'm mistaken Allan please correct me)
So for those PC players wishing to simulate as closely as possible the Origins-type iso view, it seems like Engage mode is the only way to do that (again, please correct if wrong).
If Engage mode is the only way to do that, I have some questions about it:
1. Is tactical cam with KB&M paused by default?
2. If so, do we hold down a key to start Engage mode and pass time, then release the key to return to pause?
Just trying to get some clarification since we haven't seen the KB&M gameplay in action yet.
What is the KB&M functionality for Engage mode?

Also this, there's a lot of damn confusion about what are supposed to be simple mechanics because they've never bothered to show or explain them in a clear or meaningful matter.
Exactly. I probably said more than I should before I should have. So at this point, unfortunately, I'm inclined to defer until the system is detailed more officially rather than trying to describe things with limited frame of reference.

Allan, you do realize what a big deal this is for players who do not wish to play with controllers, correct? I understand numerous things have yet to be shown, the pc UI among them, but it's still odd that something so basic for such a big title is still an unknown.
The confusion between the platform ui's does not help when both pc and console players are trying to find answers, but we only have the console UI thus far to analyze.
I understand it's important for you. The game is being released on November 18th. The only thing I'm comfortable saying is that if you still have concerns about the Keyboard and Mouse UI as that date approaches, use it to inform your purchase.
Sorry, but I'm not willing to speak more about this until it's been explored more through official means.
