Maybe you guys can help me out with this.
I completely and utterly don't understand the combat system in this game!!!!!!
I played a few hours into BG2, enough to understand the combat system...it made sense. You pause to issue commands, but if you want your party members to do certain tasks, you can make them follow rules in combat.
But in DA:O I don't get it. Sure I can issue commands while the battle is paused. But I don't want to do that most of the time. I want my party members to fight by themselves based on the tactics I assign to them.
I make all 4 of my party members attack the enemy with the lowest health, yet when the fight starts, they sit there staring at the enemy half the time without attacking.
The person I have control of (or highlighted) doesn't follow the tactics rules at all. Am I forced to control someone at all times?
I'm really confused. Why does the person I have highlighted stop following basic rules like simply attacking the enemy?
In BG2 your whole party followed the rules no matter what unless you paused and gave manual orders.
What am I missing here??
