I'm just curious how many others have this issue with the gameplay/story in this game.

I have a feeling I was a lot more generous to Anders and the Mages than I otherwise would have been, simply because I needed him in my party (for the way I play) after Bethany died (hell, maybe even me taking her with me was part of this issue).

On a couple of occasions I was swayed to the mages' side during conversations with him, and spared him after he blew up the Chantry. My decisions don't necessarily contradict what I felt I should have done, but I do have this feeling that maybe I would have made some very different decisions if this wasn't an issue.

This might have something to do with me being terrible at games in general (I'm only on Normal), as much as I like them, and probably would've had a much harder time without him in my party so I took the easy way out.

This probably was an issue in Origins for some as well, but I had my party all figured out with Sten, Alistair, and Morrigan and any choices I that would have messed that up I made the decisions that kept that party together anyway and never felt the need to make a choice that would make my gameplay harder. Maybe I just got lucky with that story.

Some of it might be that I was still able to make Morrigan a healer, where as my other mage in DAII, Merrill, couldn't do that at all, due to the new skills system.

So, did I just get unlucky with the Story/Gameplay segregation this time, or are other people noticing this more with DA2? Or was I actually just caught up in the difficulty in this game's moral decisions and am blaming them on the wrong thing?

If you play on normal, like you said, you need to realise that you don't need a healer, at all. You don't need a healer, you don't need a mage, tank, whatever. As such, you don't need Anders. I can't speak for nightmare, never played it, and never will - but on normal? Pick the ones you want to be in your party and it's fine, use a potion every now and then, and you are golden. Everything goes.

I did mention I suck, didn't I?

I might do another playthrough on Casual, just to play out the story more honestly though.

I should say that it wasn't always that I needed him (only on a couple of fights), but I also like using his skills in battle and that combination of my party, I was simply having fun during combat with him in it, even if it wasn't the most optimal party.

I don't want to make this thread about how I play though, I want it to be about how maybe how everyone else played affected their story. Was there someone else they needed in their party on whatever difficulty they played that affected their decisions? That's what I'm getting at here.
