I agree with both.
I assume the turn order mimics the old Baldur's gate games, but I'd say the interface for this in Divinity was quicker to interpret. I'd love to have it as an option.
I like the first-person conversations, but It's a bit time-wastey to do the epic zoom-in when the person I clicked on is just a villager with a one-liner. They could just say their line without the cutscene.
