See, it's OPs like this that make me bring the Major Troll like I did on page 1... and this is still going...

Again, since apparently some of you don't read the entire thread before posting, he hasn't "trolled." While the rest of you post is fair enough for me to disagree without any need to reply, I will to that line now. But I respect you. You're capable to expose your points with good sense without the usual
"waaaaaah... game is broken because it does not work the way I wants... bad, bad, bad game!"
Of course he was trolling, Anyone claiming "game is broken" and not research a minimum about why things are going bad for him, then being stupid enough to assume his lack of knowledge on the game makes his statements true, is clearly trolling, which is what I call to trip out of reality... He may not be really trolling, just high on some "lyrium" and obviously didn't take the time to base his opinion on knowledge. He didn't come to the forums and asked "is this really so?"
9 out of 10 of his points are newbie's complaints. I know. I don't think anyone sucked at this game as bad as I did in my first day! I tried to play it like Gothics/Risen/Oblivion where after a few years I had some skills. And stupid me started the first game on "Hard". When I could not get past the very first "yellow" opponent, no matter what I tried. (of course I had no idea of what to try then). Finally I came to the forums and bloody search function was broken. So I had to post about it. After that I changed diff to Normal and I still sucked. But after some 60 hours into it, lvl 15 char, I recreated it because I realized that I had made a mess with atributes, skills and talents and tactics specially after
reading this awesome thread!
This is my very first post on this forum. Hope you can see the difference from a Troll post! (couldn't find it but a quick search on "old post" taught me how! Search works people... use it!)
I just realized today that the person who posted the
Tactics Example thread is the very same person who replied to my first post! Thank you again, Grahamers!

I clear the Brecilian Forest and Ruins and kill five
revenants along the way, and then, after, for some reason, my party is
forced use the world map to travel back to the Dalish Camp,
...And so, being forced to use the world map, my
party, who had just owned five different revenants, get ambushed and
killed by mere bandits... awesome.I learned the hard way that what works for Revenants does not always work for bandits. But heck, with the minimum effort I made to learn how to play I can own them all (is using pwn an arrogant thing? =). The minimum effort was a full run in Hard mode, after those first 60 hours, when I still didn't have my C.E. and was playing with a T copy of the game, waiting for my pre-order! I'm pretty honest in saying that I still sucked at the end of that run and I may not have improved much since but a little, yes, I did.
At least my movies with the Brecilian Forest and Ruins encounters in NM are a good reference for me to see a little improvement from the newbie I was even in that hard run, after already done some 60 hours in an unfinished run. In the Hard run those Revenants seemed impossible and then in NM they seemed so easy that I thought some patch had messed with difficulty and
posted about it too.
So, I am hardly just a "pegged gushing fanboy" as labeled in some other thread. I have a enourmous critic sense. I apply that in most any areas of my life, including my song-writting. Writters, like DG and some of you our there may know of what I'm talking about. No one is the harder critic of our work than ourselves and thus, at least I believe so, we can be very imparcial and unbiased when criticizing other people's work, hopefully in a constructive manner.
Of the whole 10 points on OP, I agree with #10. I found it so distracting in my non CE run that I ended up running to the "salesman" to sell items every single time I was in the camp. Because of that stupid luring thing over his head tha should be disabled after the first dialogue. How I wish I had a dialogue option like this:
"Hey, I already bought the CE and your DLC is included but frakking EA, as usual in Brazil, will delay release due to "technical" problems for at least 3 weeks! Please get the frak out of my camp or at least have the decency of stop luring me here!"
