Checked out the gameplay for the new D&D game Warlock and it looks pretty good. Unlike many people, I have no issue with how they've adapted things to an action game. Having the warlock's patron be the infamous Tasha makes it make perfect sense that she has a bunch of otherwise leveled spells accessible as cantrips....and you need a lot of freely useable spells in an action game.
