LOL No, no, no! Calm down! When I say strategies... I mean... "I used to know what the f*ck I was doing and actually used the ability buttons and such." I don't do Tactics either. I let the AI run all the companions, and I'm sh!te at using choke points and being strategic blahblah. But I used to pause and issue each wave of actions for each companion... and I haven't figured out an easy way to do that yet. 
Lol, I've never actually known what I was doing, it makes for a blissful existance in Thedas
I thought I did great in DA2, I had my party members all tactically set up to take a heal/mana pot at under 50%, then my strategy was that of the Muskateers "All for one and one for all". It normally goes something like this - Everybody in...big bad......aww crap...... ouch!.......FENRIS
......VARRIC
........puuullll back, eejits!....dammit, pots on cooldown......awww pants & reload
(Bone pit high dragon Grrrrrrr!) 
Yeah, and do Amazon include tax in the pricing or is that added on after cos they took out $180 and even with taking into account the cost of shipping and exchange rate, I worked it out to be $129.
One bonus about the UK is any taxes are already included in the purchase price, I like that the price shown is THE price. I hope you get it sorted out though, Thedas & Cullen need you! 
Update: 52hrs in and 36% downloaded........every now and again it drops back a few % (Yay
) I've been told that happens when it downloads a corrupted file or something and redownloads it, would you believe, just my luck that I left it running overnight and windows decided to update and restart, knocking my download off
It's obviously Cullen wanting to save me (the best) for last
