While this is a game with a party, my focus is the character that I made. The more other characters I have control over, the less I feel like I have a solid point of view. I kind of wish that you could have other party members follow you around and could give them rough instructions, but that you would have no direct control over what they do. You can tell Astarion to go scout, but he's going to do it his way, whatever that is in the situation. If you ask Lae'zel to scout, she's going to do something totally different. In battle, you can shout out rough strategies, e.g. "Focus on this goblin." or "Protect this party member.", but that doesn't give you direct control over your companions. The only character I want full control over is the one I create at the beginning of the game.

I don't actually expect something like this to be implemented, but that's the version of this game that I'd like to play. Having even more characters to manage is a step in the opposite direction.
