Only 61 response, but no matter how many responses you get I think the overwhelming majority will agree that the chain mechanic and item management suck.

The chain mechanic is just a lesser solution for the RTS mechanic developed 30 years ago- Larian should admit it and move on. Item management will be fundamentally broken until you can interact with equipped items while also looking at inventory. They can still have a screen with the dolls, but at least make a small section under character portraits on the inventory screen that shows what each character has equipped.
