The idea of this game interests me – it’s just the piss-poor interface and apparently completely passive AI that turn me off

No DLC workie for me. Did all the troubleshooting steps in bioware forums. All I see is download at 100%, or ready. Not too happy about that, but who needs the armor or golem anyways right?

And if you don’t set it to Hold it’s much harder to use strategies which require characters not to be close to one another. Me, I don’t use tactics at all. Also, don’t equip a melee on a spellcaster.

Yeah, I’m glad nobody touched my Nightmare. I’m already disappointed by how easy it is compared to what I’ve heard; can’t have it getting any easier on me.

I may need this for Sloth.

With enough healing/mana potions I can get him down to his spellcaster form. And then he wipes the floor with me. He just spams knockdown attacks, and when Wynne dies. I’m screwed.

Playing on Normal.

I wouldn’t be so sure it’s impossible to have an impossible encounter. I think I know exactly where Tei went, and that dragon isn’t even the hardest thing there. You can reach it very early on. Terrible things lurk there, but many optional fights.

And shouldn’t the combat be relatively the same difficulty if it’s the same system?

Not sure if it’s related specifically to the patch, but a whole mess o’ people who have the two major DLC packs are reporting that NPCs dont’ give you map markers when they should, thus breaking their quests.

See hundreds of people with the same problem there.. and unsurprisingly, a bunch of people accusing each other of piracy, too. Joy.

Be warned, the patch apparently fecks with the DLC,

Check the forums for possible solutions to that.

If you’ve managed to max out your inventory, this suggests that you’ve been spending too much time hoarding loot, and not nearly enough time selling it and buying useful resources with it. You can never have too many flasks and elfroot to make healing poultices…

Yes, for some reason poultices come in flasks and people drink them, but that’s because they’re HARDCORE adventurers, but I digress.

Anyway, set the party tactics so that your guys auto-heal at half health, and make sure you’ve always got at least light healing poultices in reserve, and they’ll do fine.

Reminds me of baldersgate another game where the tedium wore me down and i never finished it.

Don't play Torment.

After a horrible combat that was imposible

An impossible combat is impossible. The game uses the same level scaling system that every Bioware game ever has used.
