Before someone strangles me, I get it. I really do. This is a game about micro-management. It is a classic RPG. It is a spirtual successor to Baldurs Gate 2. It is a game throwing us back to a time where developers/publishers or whoeever didn't see you as a drunken monkey that need their hand held every step. That alone is refreshing and why I'm trying to endure my frustrations with the combat system. I played Baldur's Gate 2 back in the day for 200 hours, I'm getting it.
Right now though, I feel the game lacks any kind of AI and the absence of an action queue is slightly maddening. I want to push on, I love the story, the world and the classic feel, but 4 hours in the combat just isn't fun. Maybe I'm biased here, but I don't want to have to tell my ranged attackers to attack every damned time. I want the party members to have some slight resemblance of a brain because hyper micro management once you get to 5-6 party members is just downright tedious and unfun.
If people are downright against this, I just ask that Easy or Normal mode have some AI or action queue or just have that option somewhere, anywhere.
Love the game, but it needs an action queue! Combat is unfun
