Yeah, and this happens constantly to Swen in the gameplay demos. The characters are spread out across the map, and he has to wait for them to catch up, scroll around individually control each of them. It looks quite nightmarish compared to a mode that would allow fairly easy control of both individuals and the full group.

Yes this is one I don't understand given that Larian is supposedly all about improving on things. Seamless control of the whole party has been around for a very long time, including in the original BG games. This whole linking up characters bit is very much a huge step backwards. Why not just do what most other party-based RPGs do? That works pretty darn well, right?
