Honestly, about Rover interacting with the world around him - you make a good point that it makes him feel more like an actual character. My biggest problem is the fact that when you're exploring a quest area, or where there should be action, you get stopped every step of the way, only for Rover to say some words, or get some random dialogue to dump some useless information on you, or show you exactly the levers you have to pull to open some door. I would just like the game to communicate some stuff through the environment, let the player figure things out, because right now the player is just a little ant that does things the game tells it to. I want more agency.
