I'm currently on the part where you have to save people from the burning building.

First of all, blocking turn-based mode specifically for this segment? Major dick move. I cannot tell you how annoying it is trying to position my group such that they aren't walking through fire, screwing up throwing the water barrels, all while maneuvering the camera that the ceiling beams aren't in my face. Especially annoying is for anyone who doesn't have fairly powerful computers that won't have lag due to all the particle effects going on. I really hate savescumming unless the reason is completely out of my control, and having the fire engulf the dude under the beam because Lae'zel whiffed with the barrel after clicking on her portrait didn't register that I want to select her? 100% a guilt-free save scum moment.
