Yes. There was already quite a lot of bugs with that in HC1 even with 3 characters and a linear storyline, so with 5 of them and side quests that can be done almost whenever they player wants, it would have taken far too much time and energy to be worth it. I thought that the quest journal would be enough to replace it : )im guessing thats why you opted out of putting in a item that tells you where every person is at all times like in ch1 which is fine cuz the game doesn't really need it in all honesty.
