Side note, but that's not as minor to me. I like having my best tank at the front, and my most squishy character at the back. However, by merely selecting characters, Grouping and Ungrouping them (so, by merely playing the game, really), the order of portraits changes. So I have to re-arrange them if I want some control on positioning. Also, if I don't re-order portraits, it means I can't mentally associate the shortcut F1 to Lae'zel and F4 to Gale. Instead, I need to verify constantly where Gale is in the portraits column before clicking F#, by which time the shortcut isn't really saving me time anymore.
For some people that might be considered "minor"...for me this a game breaking annoyance. I am not (more like, I just CANNOT have the patience) going through a 200hour game with such system.
I would bite the bullet if the game was 10-20 hours of course.
Its like asking console gamers to play BG3 with a mouse and keyboard because it is just a superior control theme; and if you don't like it, well tough, no more controller support (aka; that stupid UI party control). The story and gameplay is amazing anyways! So tough it up.
I really hope Larian goes back to the traditional single player mouse/keyboard party controls UI. And keep the current system for Consoles/Multiplayer (controllers).
Having both, everybody is happy.
