A sometimes difficult adjustment to make in this game is to treat it like it's turn-based. You will have to pause and unpause it frequently (unless you're a lot better with the tactics than I am). Think of it like WoW, also, if you're familiar with it. You will have to tank heavy-hitting enemies and keep the meatshield healed while the DPS whales away on the target.

You've also got to pull enemies like you would in WoW. Charging into a room will get you killed. Send in a pointman and withdraw him around the corner where the rest of your party can beat the crap out of enemies that take the bait.

give Morrigan some healing spells.

Gang up on single mobs

kite mobs away from their friends, the game wants you to run into some areas and get swamped, if you have a rouge use stealth attacks to lure small groups of enemies away and then attack them.

you end up using quite "gamey" tactics but the challenge is what makes this game great.

not this again.

It's all about crowd control.
Easiest ways to learn this game is to make your first character a mage, with spells like force field, glyphs, cone of cold, sleep.
Else you'll be forced to take Morrigan with you on all tripsand level her to to have these spells asap.

You can make do with a well built rogue, high poison skills, traps and grenades, but for this to work you need to be very familiar with the game already.

the majority in strength but some in dexterity.
One of your melée characters (You or Alistair) should concentrate on shield spells and put points into Constitution (the bottom stat), or if you have the Stone Prisoner DLC, go get the golem. He has lots of health and absorbs damage. You want 1 character to be taking damage(Constitution stat), 2 others to be doing damage(strength for melee, dexterity for bows, magic for magic) and one to be healing(magic & willpower stats with healing spells selected - they all have pictures similar to the + symbol). Get Wynn from the Mage's Tower as she starts as a healer, most people reccommend using Alistair or Shale (the DLC golem) as a tank.

If you feel you have to, start again. There's no shame in that, I did.

I find listening to everyones conversation in that game to be a real challenge.
Who made this game, Charlie Rose?

It's a tough game. Don't lose heart, and follow the advice people give on this thread:

Seems like you are not alone and while I found only certain fights challenging a lot of people apparently suck at this game for some reason or another (most likely not used to tactical RPGS). My best advice would be to roll a mage and make sure you get a healing spell early. Then get wynne from the tower for more healing and buffs and then use morrigan and allistar. This way your group is entirely too OP for what the game had in mind and you should be able to completely dominate with little to no regard for what enemies you are running in to.

If that fails, then you really should give up and go play something else because you will most likely never get it.

You play with no rogue?

I have rarely found really good loot in chests, but am always afraid I'll miss something so I take Leiliana everywhere.

Ya my first playthrough i went with a rogue so i could pick everything but found nothing useful in anything so on my 2nd time through i just said screw it and went all fire power.

Hmm... it's very tempting, more so due to Morrigan being in infinately more interesting character than the frigid Frenchie.
