Yeah I mean the point has been well made. It's pretty baffling
The Gauntlet of Shar was particularly annoying. You know trying to get 4 people to go up the elevator, but only 3 managed to get on and Gale got crushed to death when we tried to go back down to retrieve him. Having to reload and redo the Faith-Leap trial, forgetting to ungroup, dead again. Feels like the game was designed for a player to control 1 PC and 1 Follower at most, because anything beyond that and they're just ambling. Like I'm sure it works fine in Co-Op with a party of 4 being controlled by 2 players and grouped into 2 groups. But for SP controlling 4 it can be quite aggravating.
All I really want is a way to make my party walk in a line along the same path as the controlled character. I don't know how they rework it for a drag and select, because the cam and controls are locked onto the currently selected Character, rather than having the player control the group as a group. The fiddly portrait management just sorta highlights the annoyance factor further, cause it only works half the time and anyway the order of those portraits doesn't seem to matter, whereas I think it should be party position with the face/leader at the top. In the old BG games the Character would give a bark if they were chosen to lead, which would also be nice.
