I'm curious as to how you guys are playing this in terms of party management. I guess on one end of the scale you would have the FPS types who basically just control their own character in real time, to people who use tactics/behaviour to manage their party members, to those who are doing in BG-style where you micromanage all your actions and pause every few seconds.

I suspect that it's probably easier to do the BG-style micromanagement with a PC and a mouse than it is with the PS3 where it is a bit of a pain using the controller. I'm personally leaving it to the programmed tactics/behaviour and will only intervene if someone's dying or if someone needs to be nuked.

So what are you guys doing?
