It is a bit irritating, yes, although they'd still need some kind of grouping solution for the console versions either way. Can't really drag-and-select with a gamepad. Although to be honest the only issue I have with the current system is how FIDDLY re-ordering the character portraits is with the mouse when there's more than two party members to a grouping.
we already went over this so many times, but to reiterate: it's a fake issue because the solution used on a controller should have no bearing whatsoever in how one plays on mouse and keyboard. Basically: allowing drag & select on M&KB would NOT prevent to use an auto-following system on consoles/controllers.
Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
