Who the ♥♥♥♥ is Rook?

And why hype us with Minrathous just to not let us explore the city as a RPG?
♥♥♥♥, I loved walking in Denerim and visiting the brothel.

Because that is too big of a task for current Bioware

This is an actual criticism I can get behind. The Inquisitor getting relegated to a a side character when it's a continuation of their story is pretty annoying, though Veilguard was in dev hell for a good period of time so it's possible this is just a result of that. I imagine in earlier versions of the story the Inquisitor would have had a much larger role in things, and Rook just ended up stealing the show further and further as time went on.

Personally what I would have loved to see is Varric be replaced by the Inquisitor. You can customize them and make your major decisions from Inquisition during character creation so it would have been neat to remake your character from Inquisition right down to the class and spec choices and then have them with Rook on the first mission as an NPC instead of Varric. Would have been a great way to pass the torch from one player character to the next.

Rook is a person Varric hired.

Rook has no emotional drive.

Rook has no hook.

Rook is a schmuck.

They really should have made the inquisitor the main character so much less emotional investment. I know why they didn't, haven't had a same MC since origins but with this being about the Dreadwolf it feels like a missed opportunity. Of course with how the game is now that might have been a small mercy.

literally every single game in this series has had a different protag and a time skip in every new instalment. are y'all ok or actually suffer from amnesia? or perhaps you're looking for superficial, subjective ♥♥♥♥ to complain about because the game is actually good?
