Forced fights with no chance to reposition

[Tobiaz1991]

How is it that certain fights like the one where you fight in the chorus camp for Landry or the one where you face the rebel leaders your party doesn't position itself to the order you give. It's pre set.
Which is utterly retarded when your tank starts in the back row..

Which would be somewhat fine because the fight starts pauzed so you quickly give some orders.
You unpauze and every party member forgets what he has to do and stand idly.

How absurd is this? Did nobody notice this in all their trial runs?
I play on the hardest difficulty because it has the highest AI, what's with that, no high AI without bs stat boosts?

Fix this already!

So you can sort of fix the positioning by sorting your party in the row on the bottom left, still highly annoying and very uninstinctive.
Secondly I think the stopping of orders has to do with the auto pause fuctions which stops every party member.

Still both things happen to you without warning or anything. Maybe give a tooltip or just something other than letting players frustrate themselves before they figure it out.
I love obsidian games, people who merely enjoy them won't be this forgiving.
