Anyone ever done it? What origin and class? Did you change up what companions you take to your previous play through? Any difficulties or challenges faced?
For me as a mage I found myself limiting or restricting certain spells like "Walking Bomb". And my party dropped from three mages to either one or two depending on if I need a rogue (which I still suck at using).
My understanding is that some people solo Nightmare.
its the only thing i do ever since 2nd game,
mage going for arcane first, then blood mage,
the first two spells are mana shield and rock armor, it keeps me alive until lv 7 when i get armor.
I don't do pause-gaming so relying on flinging spells is a non starter,
the only spell beside sustainables that actually make a difference is mana clash, used as a starting spell.
I go strait for magic 38 then some dexterity then keep on maxing out magic

@mousestalker how did you solo the broodmother as a rogue?
Edit: Nvm seen it done on yt.
I tried to solo NM with an elven mage but got stuck at Ulfric's boss fight. I didn't find it that much fun without companions anyway.

To me its better w/o companions. At first they were enjoyable but coming back after some time they just aren't the same anymore. With time we all change. Now I find all of them except the Mabari, Shale and sometimes Morrigan annoying.
I did a nightmare play-through with a blood mage. In general, my play-style tends to focus heavily on mages (with disabling and healing/ defensive capabilities) backed up with at least one tank-- I don't know much about how to play a dual-wielding rogue (really don't like finding the right gear, keeping applying poisons, anything involving crafting).
I used lots of sleep, waking nightmare, group heal, blood control, mana clash, cone of cold, stone fist (for shattering), fireball, crushing prison... honestly, big AOE spells aren't so useful unless you use blood wound because of friendly fire. I liked walking bomb on normal difficulty- not so much on nightmare. I developed an appreciation for force field-- because it could take an enemy out of combat or make an ally invulnerable to damage for a while. Overall, I focused a lot more on disabling the enemies with spells rather than trying to wreck them asap. My standard party was: Warden, Wynne/ Morrigan, Alistair/ Loghain and then the next slot I switched around (usually picking the other mage-- because I'm all about spells).
The early parts of the game, before you've got the important spells and before the warrior can properly manage aggro, were the worst for me. Just kind of a slog but it got better.
I definitely found that the Harvester from Golems of Amgarrak was harder to defeat on Normal (I seem to remember a tonne of kiting) than the main game on Nightmare.
only now do i realize that the question was only about nightmare, not solo nightmare 
@mousestalker how did you solo the broodmother as a rogue?

Ironmaned Nightmare a couple of moths ago. Since you can carry as many potions as you want, they dont share the cooldown and the cooldown itself is quite low the game is beatable with any party.
i did it regularly solo nightmare with AW, and i'm the lousiest player there was, and on top of that i also never pause-gaming,
so that goes to show how powerful AW is
