Unlinking your characters before combat starts should prevent them from moving to stay in formation.
This isn't the issue I'm seeing. They aren't regrouping to stay in formation, they are already in formation, and then after combat starts, they re-arrange. It might be a few weeks before I can fraps it so I'll try and get some screen shots
Also, while I appreciate the workaround for DOSEE... I hope a better solution is in the works for DOS2. At least, that is my suggestion.
The UI for looting with a controller makes looting extremely easy. I don't think it needs to be made any easier than that.
Don't assume everyone can or even wants to use a controller. It would be wise to make a UI that is fun for everyone. give us choice, choice, and more choice. That way, one person's definition of fun doesn't dictate it to everyone else that doesn't agree.
