My experience was different. Tactics were more than sufficient for most fights during all my playthroughs, and I played most of those on nightmare. Boss fights were basically the only ones I felt like the AI couldn't deal with it well enough (Broodmother in particular, partymembers were obsessed with killing the tentacles instead of the darkspawn eating my healer alive). I'm kinda thinking the opinion on if the tactics being sufficient breaks down along how control freaky perfectionist the player is. If, say, Zevran decided to run across the field to stab the nearly-dead wolf that Sten was going to kill before he got there, I wasn't going to lose sleep over it. But for others, this is Unacceptable!

I enjoyed micromanaging on my rogue char. For the mage I just made everyone "if <enemy targeted by mainplayer> then <kill enemy>" Mages were just far, far too OP.

I think it started with the friendly fire on normal, it just didn't hurt 100% until nightmare, although it might've been different on zee console versions. Didn't really matter, IF I brought a mage they were just healbitch anyway. Romances revealed! Pretty much who you'd expect. No Aveline romance means my MANHAWKES are all going to have serious cases of teh gay. |

Rogues are the least effective character when not micromanaged due to positioning bonus.
Warriors are okay if u told him to drink potions automatically.
Mages can be devastating, but in general, it gets too boring once you made every counter trivial, so i told the mages to keep up buffs instead on the tank and heal-bot.

Let's face it, there is certainly precedent for Isabella at least to not care what sex her partners are. |

Yes, PC FF damage was 0%/50%/100%/100% while the console versions were 0%/0%/50%/100%. |

Isabella is who everyone is assuming will be the lady for ladies, people are split on if the dude for dudes will be the stupid haired elf or the mage who spent the entirety of Awakenings talking about how much he loves the ladies. You cooooould argue Anders was overcompensating, but I am pretty sure it's going to be the elf. :P |

Anders may be interested in the ladies but it doesn't mean his bonus companion is  |

Not demon. A metrosexual mage who bathes more often than once a month, with demon as bonus content for these times where some extra rough handling is desired. edit: fan take on the subject |

Don't worry about them, most of them are sort of disturbingly happy about the choices they have in men! Me, I woulda prefered the dwarf.  |

I can see that, but then I was shocked to find out Ingmar isn't four feet tall and built like a brick wall, so that may not come as a huge surprise to me.

Btw, I'm in the Facebook DA:Legends game beta test. They gave me two more friends keys if anybody wants to look at it. First two to send me a PM can have them.

I hate their marketing bullshit.  I don't actually think I want to DO the demo, because you cannot pick up your demo person and keep going. I'd rather my first fresh playthrough be fresh! Bah! |

I think i'm going to download the demo and then have it just sit there until the game ships. Then i can play the "real" game as first through the prologue, and then use the demo to see the alternative paths and get the unlock(s) done this way just the same.  |

I am still confused about how adjusting the game balance with items is a 'reward'.
