I don't know an proper solution, maybe for Explorer-Mode?


Your first instinct was right. Your second thought was wrong.

Literally the only point of formations is to arrange your party on combat. If it doesn't do that, it's not working. If your formation has the mages at the back properly, but they are at the front if you had one of them leading, then it is not working. You should not, in any way, be punished for that. DOS 1 rearranged the formations properly based on the chain order, so DOS 2 can do it as well. It should NOT be an "explorer mode only" thing.

To hear that from someone, who can't stand that they carry Weapons on the Prologue-Ship because of "Immersion", but in case of combat it should be like: "Oh we have to fight, wait we have to take the proper formation"... That wouldn't be pretty immersive for me as well.

And the first one did have an overly silly story, should we argue now, that Larian should get rid of the more Serious tone of the sake how the first one it did. Lastly also nice, how give yourself the right to judge my feelings & thoughts on that, while you complained the last time as i did about your immersion thing. But whatever - in case of Formation i don't care either way how Larian it handle, so i let you people argue about that.
