I have been playing early access, having a lot of fun, but one of the most consistent and frustrating fundamental aspects of the game is trying to control the party. I love the transition to a more tactical turn-based system, but trying to position your party for an ambush is like trying to herd lobotomized cats. Breaking each character off from the group is tedious, and switching between characters is clunky. I don't know if I'm imagining it, but I feel like I have to hold the left mouse button down for an extra split second in order to select a different character... So I'm constantly moving characters I didn't intend to move because, oops, the game didn't register my click on Shadowheart. I also understand that I can technically turn on tactical turn-based mode for this, but it feels even more clunky. Sorry, I'm not positioning my entire party into position around the blighted village 10 ft at a time...
I know there's a lot of hate on this board for everything this game does differently than BG1 & BG2, but with the transition to more tactical gameplay, having the ability to quickly and easily reposition the party is much, much, more important. Honestly, the thought of having to constantly unlink and relink my party for a full playthrough sounds awful.
I understand that having an Infinity-Engine style character selection may not be feasible at all times, but toggling between something more intuitive and the current system would be ideal. Not to constantly bring up Bioware games, but maybe even have a follow-cam option, a la NWN?
