Hi, for generic cutscene and narration purposes I highly recommend using Adventure Creator, which can take care of everything you're asking for here thanks to its UCC integration package.
It's been years since I last tried making a cinematic game with UCC alone, but here's what I can advise so far :
-Triggers should be no problem, you have plenty examples of these in the demo scene.
-To remove control, you can use the OnEnableGameplayInput event. You may also consider disabling the Ultimate Character Locomotion Handler and Player Input components.
-Unity's Nav Mesh and Astar Pathfinding both have a UCC ability that will allow you to move a character to a point.
-The Local Look Source component and the Assist Aim ability should be of use to make the player look at a specific object. You might also consider creating a new custom View Type.
-The last point goes beyond UCC's role. Once again, Adventure Creator is excellent for that. And if it's just animations you need, you should be able to call them manually using Unity's Animator.
Hope all of this helps. I've recently started making tutorials for Opsive assets, if you'd like me to cover this kind of topic you can let me know on this page.

Hey, thanks for the info.
i was actually looking at adventure creator but couldnt find much info on the integration and how fleshed out it was. But yeah for simple type cutscenes you reckon adventure creator can do that pretty easily with UCC?
im not a fan of timeline and animation in general so anything to make the process easier.

It's true that the AC-UCC integration lacks some advertisement ! You can nonetheless download it from AC's Downloads page and take a look at the PDF in it.
It's perhaps a bit of a weird example, but I've been using AC and UCC together for several years now and this combination really allows for many possibilities ! Allow me to share my own work to give you and idea : (you'll need to log in to watch the first one because of nudity sorry !)
These levels contain everything you must be looking for, from triggers to camera placement and transition between gameplay and cutscene.
