I love the music, the atmosphere. But I agree with Mantus in that it feels like an interactive movie. I mean, it could potentially be good, but so far, hasn't helped me get into the game. I have had problems with fighting from the start. I'm attempting to be a ranger right now, but I'm popping my skills and talents towards becoming an assassin. It feels like not being a healer guarantees the tank dies. I've had to retry several darkspawn matches to survive. And most of the time, everyone dies, but me. I guess I have to work out the tactical guide more, find a balance.
When I'm playing my char in battle, sometimes right clicking an enemy to attack doesn't work, and she just stands there, idle. What gives? SHOOT AN ARROW, dammit.
Ah well, I'll try to grit my teeth and keep going.

There are some fixes to the problems you mention. I don't want to spoil anything for you, but there's a character you can get who is a dedicated healing mage if you really want one. Alternatively, having any mage get the heal spell is pretty essential. I also recommend crafting as many healing potions as you can at any given time, so that you are always fully stocked. Also, DA isn't Ninja Gaidan, but it most definitely is not an easy game, so don't feel embarrassed about shifting around the difficulty slider for any given battle. I've died...well, a lot. I find that dying usually is a learning experience.
I also had a very had time at first figuring out the combat system. You'll get the hang of it. If you tell a character to do something and they aren't doing it, most of the time it's because they can't - characters can be under a spell, knocked down, stunned, etc.
I hope things get better, cause its a great game.
