Something I've always wondered and that has always bothered me is that Genlocks and Hurlocks who use the bow always switch to a dagger or mace (mostly without a shield) when they're attacked by melee attacks.

Is there a reason for this? Why do Hurlocks and Genlocks, who have almost all their skills in archery, this? Is it to make the game easier? Or because they're set on the default tactic?

Has anyone else been bothered by this as well?

No, I have not been bothered by it. Whether they use bow or dagger makes no difference to me. The result is the same.

I think they switch to melee because that is their default tactic. Or maybe the ones you refer to just can't run fast enough to try to move to a new location.

lol, very true, go Warden go

Well I'm speaking about all the archers I can find (who are all rogues if I'm not mistaken), but I forgot about the running away.
First they all try to run away (which is normal as they are archers and thus long-range fighters), but after you chase them and attack them in melee they just switch to a dagger or mace, while having no shield or no skills, and just start attacking you with no hope of survival.

Shouldn't a Darkspawn be smarter than that? Since they are offsprings from Dwarven, Human,... broodmothers...

It seems to be a general sort of default tactic. I noticed last time I went through the Gauntlet that in the section where the Wardens have to fight their shadow selves that "shadow-Leliana" switches to melee weapons when they attacked her. I have her set as archery tactics only, so the default tactic must reset all archers to switch to melee weapons -- even the ones that would do better by fighting with their bows.

I've often encountered that they first stun me, move away and then range again

So have I, but I do that a lot myself so I don't mind (also the reason I think every darkspawn archer is a rogue)

But at least that is normal behavior, switching to a dagger while having all your skills in archery is very stupid and unusual

[Vincentiusx]

There are some archers in the game which haven't got the ability melee archer, perhaps the darkspawn archers are among them but I'm not sure
