Hi! Sorry if this is a repeat post -- couldn't find anything to help me.

I'm a very pause-and-point fighter, and I prefer to micro manage fights rather than leave it to the tactics menu (though I have my tactics set as a back-up).

I've been finding that my team won't follow my orders as they did in DAO.  I can pin-point a few things, but they don't account for the over-all feeling of "They aren't listening to me!"

- the ranged fighters on my team will often not attack when on "Hold" despite facing the mobs and having tactics set to attack my tank's target. Sometimes they seem to attack for one round and then lose interest?

- telling my team-members to run away from an area to see them IMMEDIATELY run the other direction or stop and perform a ability

- team members deciding that an ability is AoE and losing their target

- I used to be able to queue up a target/ability for each character and then keep them on that target/ability by selecting the whole team.  Now they don't care if I have them selected, they go straight to their tactics.

It's making me want to grit my teeth and stomp in frustration.  What am I missing??

What behaviors do you have set? These can cause some strange bypassing of actions at times. Is the queued action being interrupted? Can often occur without even noticing.

Hmm being interrupted is a possibility. Thanks, Shoggoth. That would actually explain a lot of the weirdness that I'm seeing.

Still, how frustrating is it that my people suddenly get amnesia because someone bumps into them? That didn't happen in DAO, did it?

I have the exact same problem. The first one happens a lot to me (sometimes with my melee fighters as well. I think it has to do with the "Hold Position" option. After seeing this happen to me more times than I could count, I stopped putting my party on hold position and didn't run into this problem again.

But of course, now I run into the "Lol I'm going to run straight into that mob even though you told me to run the opposite way." Without putting your party on hold position, I don't know how to stop this. Sometimes I can understand why a companion might do this... perhaps I moved them out of line of sight for an enemy and so they run back into it to continue to attack. Other times my ranged companions will literally act retarded and just run straight into an enemy mob for no reason.

I think this is all you can do:
(1) Don't use Hold Position. It's either glitched (party members will just stop attacking) or its working as intended, but doesn't have the effect we want (party members stand still and will no longer complete actions).
(2) If you want to micromanage - turn off all tactics. Having tactics on will only mess your companions up and cause frustrating situations. As soon as someone is "interrupted," they cease the action they were trying to do. This means if you toll them to do something and they get "interrupted," then they will ignore what you told them and start doing something from their tactics.
(3) Also on the tactics screen, check their behavior. That is, are they ranged, default, passive, etc. Read the descriptions to see if the current setting is causing undesired behavior.

Ugh, my favorite is when I turn off Hold and my ranged fighters run right through the door my tank is trying to hold as a bottle-neck.  They seem to take great glee is running right into the middle of a room full of mobs, where they are promptly swamped.

I'm pretty simple and consistant with my default behaviors: either Aggressive or Ranged does it for me (or has in the past). It just seems that my ranged folks seem to want to be on the OTHER side of the fight. Perhaps I'm keeping them too close behind my tank? But then you'd think that they would run *away from the fight rather than *through the fight.

I'm getting close to the end of my second play-through on Normal (just trying to get the feel for things).  Hmmm, so do I try the empty tactics *now or do I wait to start that when I begin my Hard run-through?
