Why is there no auto follow for followers

[Nero Armis]

Really hard for me to get into this game due to this type of control..or I guess lack of control.
I know they have buttons for it. But it feels so more freeing just having them follow me.. Baldurs gate 3 does it wonderfully. Surprised there isn't a mod that allow it.

just use select all then click. There is no need to use any auto follow for those types of games.

In WotR you can even set formation movement. I really miss being able to do that in BG3.

I much prefer this approach to BG3. Not only formations, but you can drag to select a sub group, and group all/use formation is one keypress (backspace on default PC setup).

Bg3's chain break drag thing is clunky and really annoying in 2d with the pet break off, often one pet at a time for 5 or 6 of them late game (eg if you have the necro book ghouls X4 and an elemental and shovel and whatever, some characters can have 8 or so pets, maybe more, like a summon dedicated druid).

where WOTR fails the most on this, even though its pretty good, is that new additions to the party don't join your all-grouped setting by default, you have to hit the key again. I have left seelah and cammie behind in the intro and found myself alone in a fight more than once due to that, and later long lasting summoned stuff (eg the inquisitor monster summoner) you have to remember to connect them into the group (and worse those can bugwarp to another side of the map, its really bad in act 1 at the market square).

bind it to a key you always have in reach or even your mouse if you have one with many buttons or at least a spare side button, it will become muscle memory eventually

i personally have a mouse with replaceable side buttons and use the one with 9 side buttons with playing cRPGs and just have "select all" on the middle one closest to my hand and click it with my thumb by reflex
