I ended up talking about it in another thread, so I never updated the previous post here, but for the record I realized that if they borrowed the formation system used in Pathfinder WOTR they could solve several problems at once...



...Since it's a system that allows the player to choose BOTH the shape of the formation and which character exactly places where, which solves the problem with portraits mixing and re-mixing in total anarchy every time the toilet chain is involved.


By the way yes, I remember that a formation system was there in DOS 2. I still have painful memories of how inadequate and ineffective it was, too.
It's not a coincidence that people hardly paid it any attention and most don't even realize it's there.
