spoiler free PSA for the combat side of veilguard: I think the game severely undercommunicates the importance of the 'attack my target' mechanic (i.e. directing the companions to attack specific targets when you bring up the ability wheel)! this not only focuses their damage output, it actually sets up a bunch of gameplay effects and synergies and makes the companions a lot more effective. so if you're struggling or trying to get the most out of the team, that's a good place to start! the different 'attack my target' effects (which upgrade as the game go on and you expand with the caretaker) can be read on the companions' equipment, so you can find something that best fits your playstyle :) I only learned about this in some random youtube video but it's been serving me well, so I now relay this knowledge to anyone who might appreciate it
(also there are skills around the skill tree that can change or improve how basic attacks and attack chains/combos work! you might find that makes for a more fluid gamplay experience)
