I think this is a spin-off rather than a main game, but I guess you meant that this is an actual big game rather than something like Sons Of Sparta.
I don't mind this at all, or even those rumors, although the cube as a companion sounds weird. Why that, of all possible things? GoW is not about D&D as far as I know.
I'd love to play as Faye as well, she was mostly "tell, don't show" in the previous games and was just hoisted on us already dead to begin with. Almost felt like something was cut from the game. It may have been the right call in terms of the tone and the focus of those games, but it would be nice to see her in another thing.
Tyr as well, I'd like to see his travels myself.
