Party formations

[willyguttz]

How do I change the group formations. I went to the options and chose the formations to be on. When I choose a location for the party, the cursor shows a triangle. Can I change the triangle into a different formation like in Baldurs gate? I read the manual..gamefaqs walkthroughs...but no mention on changing party formations.

The triangle is just a cursor graphic, there's no actual set formations. You can create your own formations by positioning each recruit, how you want them, before selecting the entire squad. They will then do their best to keep the same distance from each other and will not bunch up when arriving at the target location.

Odd, because whenever I try to put them into formation, then select the formations to be on, they end up just moving into a line.

I tried putting them into a staggered formation, pressing the "F" button. Maybe I'm supposed to press "F" then move them into the desired positions?

Either turn formations on in the options screen, or hold down the f key when you click on the ground to move.
