I feel like the companions and most characters até actually really good, of course there os some fone tunning tô be made, but that's something the devs até probabbly aware too.
The storyline so far is very interesting for me and goes well with your available companions. Though I relate to some of your points, It can improve, but for me it's definitly going in the right dirrection and I triste the devs to improve on It and deliver.
There is already a pause mechnic, the turn based mode you enter with space bar.
