The thing i liked the most was the battle in the tutorial level. There Ifan , Red Prince, Beast, Lohse and Sebille attacked on their own without me controlling them. I find it tedious to micromanage the companions to such a degree. There should be some kind of an option to chose from "Full control" over the party or "Partial control" .
Now we will have free reign over what they equip and what they have in their inventory and so on , but in combat they should think for themselves and do what they think is best.
