Hello!
Among all the talk of Auto-attack, PC controls, etc, I have located one thing that, for me, would change the whole game for the better; an option to turn off auto-center on the selected character (when not in tactical cam).
Reasons why I think there should be an option to remove auto-center on selected character:
1. Giving out orders becomes much easier. The screen stays put and you can go through your characters and give out orders without having to adjust to a new viewpoint.
2. Once the action starts up again after you un-pause, you can quickly see the results of your actions without moving the camera back to the front line.
An example how it is now:
I'm playing a warrior and is currently doing battle with a demon. Way behind me stands Solas and Varric, ready to unleash their ranged attacks. I have paused the game and currently have my warrior selected.
I want Solas to help me out with Winter's Grasp so I click his portrait and my camera is auto-centered on his character. I click Winter's Grasp to activate it. I then click on Varric and the camera auto-centers on his character. I'm not really sure what I want him to attack, so I click my Warrior to get a better view of the battle. The camera centers on my warrior character. I then click a new target, then click Varric again. The view centers on Varric and I click Longshot. I then click on my warrior again (the camera auto centers on my warrior), and I press un-pause to see the result of the battle (That's five auto-centers! Five times your viewpoint changes.)
An example how it could be without auto center:
I'm playing a warrior and is currently doing battle with a demon. Way behind me stands Solas and Varric, ready to unleash their ranged attacks. I have paused the game and currently have my warrior selected. I want Solas to help me out with Winter's Grasp so I click his portrait. The camera stays where it is - on my warrior character. I click Winter's Grasp. I then click Varric's portrait and the camera still remains where I currently have my camera. I chose a new target and click Long Shot. I un-pause and see the action unfold.

For me having the camera move all over the battlefield while assigning orders and thinking about tactics is very jarring; it makes it harder to see the intended target, to give out commands and it just feels very convoluted. Not auto-centering on your character is an option that works, it's been proven in previous Dragon Age games. I fully understand this is not Dragon Age: Origins or Dragon Age II, but I firmly believe that an option to turn off auto-center on character in non-tactical mode will make this game a better gameplay experience for many people.
Please, I would love to see an option to turn this feature off (not remove it, make it an option).
Thank you for your time.
