BD control system is a nightmare, half the time your not sure which character you are controlling and when it comes to a battle the constant swaping from one character to another takes away any enjoyment that could be had from it. The skills interface is too complex and just detracts from the game.
You people do know that you can make Beyond Divinity control like Divine Divinity, right? Right?
Select both characters and HOLD the mouse button down wherever you want to go. The leader will always be in front while the other guy will always be in the back following the leader. I found the game ALOT more enjoyable once I figured this out.
In many respects, I think that Beyond Divinity is a big step forward, especially in terms of character development. My only problem with this game (only for now hopefully) is the bugs.
