Honestly, controlling my whole party fully is something I want out of an RPG, ALL RPGs, too. AI is for enemies :D. Give me control of my people, as full as possible. Aside from that movement issue though, the control is as full as it can get. I will say that yes, people do get left behind. I will ALSO say I ADAPTED to that though, and learned to make SURE people were with me, and I always checked behind me when walking around corners, or through doorways... or just whenever. Anyway, movement. Yeah, they could have let you tell them where to move. Just target an area of the ground and.... oh... OOOOH! I get what overhead helps with now! Eh, honestly locking the camera above you, nah, but letting us have the freedom to rotate it up there when needed would have been nice.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
