The Ability Wheel lets you fully assess the enemy’s position

We can see Rook pinging between enemies while pausing the action from the Ability Wheel screen, so it looks like it might not be possible for enemies to hide from you thanks to awkward positioning or the like. This isn’t a cover-based shooter like Mass Effect, so this seems like a decent enough middle ground between the action-based pivot and the tactical origins of the series.
Dragon Age: The Veilguard launches on October 31. While we won’t get to play it for a little bit longer, BioWare is putting out a drip feed of story content through a weekly audio drama that will spotlight all the companions.
