Larian Studios Forums Divinity: Original Sin 2 Divinity - Original Sin 2 - General Fix the formations

Started playing the game and noticed formations weren't working properly. I was playing as a rogue and changed the formation so she would be in the back of the party but the game seems to put whichever character you have selected in the front of the party for whatever reason despite the formation put in.

Hopefully this bug gets fixed soon; I can't play the game as my rogue is always out of position when combat starts and gets destroyed pretty quickly.

Yup. I've noticed this as well. Formations don't work at all, lol.

Same here.

Interesting, for me they have worked as the grid shows.

One thing that really caught me though and I don't think it is intentional, but I like it a lot...

If you put say a couple chars of 4 on the furthest row back, a lot of times when combat starts, only the front one's are locked in combat. You can still move the two in the back separate/realtime and tweak your positioning. Most of the time this will cost those back rowers to be starting the first round last, but after that round, their Init will kick in accordingly. I found this pretty cool overall.

I do like the grid layout to combat, so all my guys aren't easy AEO pickings at the start.
