Baldur's Gate 3 II: The Urge for a Second Playthrough

[Cikomyr2]

It almost always leaves the character rounds from the combat once they finally roll initiative..

Unless the people outside of combat approach the combat stealthily and takes care not to cross fields of visions?

I genuinely NEVER had any issue about PCs being far from battle, because the game was designed for relax leisure gaming where you can always have the people far away catch up as slowly and meticulously as needed.

Not sure what the issue here is.
