My single biggest fear with BG3 is if the party control system stays the same. I absolutely loathe the chain thing. I understand why it's there, that it's better for people who play with a controller or for multi-player.
Is I though? For multiplayer the chain system doesn’t bring anything that classic system couldn’t do better. For controller maybe I can see it, but there have been ports of other cRPG to consoles that I hear play fine - can’t confirm myself, as I played those on PC with M&K.
And if their excuse for clunky chain controls is a console port that hasn’t yet happen nor was confirmed, then it’s a poor excuse indeed.
