After an initial ambush I will have the characters stand up like idiots to get properly pulled into initiative
I wonder if you mind (and noticed) that they loose their first turn if you do that.

I find this an acceptable tradeoff because the alternative gives me too much advantage.
It does seem a little strange to be policing oneself in a game like this. I don’t recall ever doing so in the previous games.
I can totally understand doing homebrew restrictions from a loreful,thematic or common sense (like taking Lae’Zel’s armour) perspective but relinquishing the use of what seems to be primarily Larian’s homebrew would suggest that they have erred in including some of those mechanics in the first place?
Personally I don't like a lot of those mechanics so I don't use them. I fully expect that there will be mods that will eliminate or at least tone them down which I will happily install after full release when Larian will provide support for mods. I also would not be surprised to learn that those of us who do relinquish them are likely a small minority amongst all of the people that play the game.

If we would concider everything that someone refuses to use to be "error to implement in the first place" ... we could easily end up with autoattack only.

Strange logic but whatever. Can’t say I’ve ever played a game where I policed my use of game mechanics, that’s the point I’m trying to make.
