Yeah act2 is what really soured me toward D:OS2. It is pretty clear which part of the game was extensively tested. I hope the same won't happen to BG3 - we didn't even get to titular city.
Chain control isn't a massive problem there due to armor system - especially as you level up, the traps and surfaces don't really keep up with damage, so your characters running through them isn't really an issue (or traps in general).
Story mode should keep things nice and easy for you - if you encounter issues then remember that your gears level is the most important thing to succeed - power gain is mostly distributed through gear. Once you level up a higher level of gear can be dropped or bought. Especially in act2 I found it crucial to re-equip as much of my party as possible after every lvl up.
