BD is similar to BG combat - if you hit the pause button, you can heal your chars, direct your attack, change skills, change leader etc.
I had both on aggressive mode, so the non-leading one attacked by itself. If I wanted to harm via spell, I went into pause mode to choose, clicked on enemy, unpaused. Or if I wanted to deal with something in single mode, I went into sneak e.g. - then paused, used another skill (stun). Or I went into pause, directed char B somewhere else, switched back to char A - unpaused etc. So, micro management is similar.
The only difference between my BD and BG game was => I played a group in BG and only a pair in BD.

But BG have a turn based option wich is much better . If BD had a semi-turn based option like BG it would be great <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
