I picked up DA:I when it first came out, sank ~20 hours into it, and uninstalled it. Poorly optimized, poor controls, poor camera, poor AI, etc.

 

I want to get back into the game, but I'm having trouble because I never got into the game to begin with. I just trudged through it for a while before giving up after realizing it just wasn't working.

 

I can nitpick a plethora of problems I have with the game, but the majority of them I can overlook. What really kills it for me, though, is the combat. It felt like the awkward lovechild of a tactical RPG and an action RPG, while never coming close enough to either genre to feel complete. I'm thinking I might just try to go through the game solo (I'll bring companions for banter, but I need to build my Inquisitor as capable of handling everything herself because I refuse to battle the camera and trying to control my full party) but I don't have any idea where to start.

 

Off the top of my head, trying to remember exactly where I had problems before, I remember fighting demons (I forget the name; terror? they teleport around) and just outright giving up on them before it didn't seem possible to move my character plus my mouth-breathing companions out of harm's way fast enough. Like, demon teleports to someone and knocks them down, then channels an AoE that hits several times - hard - and then repeat. It was even more problematic because I was playing a Mage and it just so happened that the enemies were highly resistant to the element that all my spells were from (I didn't have much spell variety yet, being only level ~12?)

 

Anyway, I want to avoid frustrations like that if at all possible - forget about my companions, let them get knocked down repeatedly while Cassandra holds her shield up while her back's to her enemies and Varric shoots at a rock - and just murder everything with my Inquisitor, and I'm wondering what the best way to do that would be. I don't really want to go with the Knight Enchanter, because I've heard nothing but how boring it is and it sounds to me like you play completely different once you've got KE than compared to how you play when you're just a Mage. I'd love it if I could not suck before unlocking prestige classes, since I never got that far before and have no idea how far into the game you even unlock that stuff.

 

I apologize for the rambly nature of this post; it's coming on 3am and my brain is mush.

 

tl;dr looking for a very solo-friendly class/build, maybe a rogue preferably? Something to let me get away with ignoring my companions and disregarding tactical camera as much as possible.

I understand what you say. The game is more then your typical RPG, the developers have tried to create a story.  If you focus on the combat you are missing out on the nuance of the game.  If you want combat then go to Elder Scrolls Tameriel Online.

 

I waited a few months before picking up the game, gave it time to have the patches and most of the bugs worked out.  

 

The companions in your party provide more than just banter without companions you will be doomed in any encounter.  You may still be doomed, but at least they take some of the heat off of your charcter.

 

If you play the mage, I like the rift mage, you can some awesome skills that wreck havoc on large groups of foes.

 

The game can be fun, it is dismiliar to most of the games out there, you feel your charcter is impotent against some foes until you get up in level and weaponry.

 

Recommend you get the free add-ons.  Some are strictly for multiplayer use and there is something also for single players.

 

The DLC's... Jaws of Khakkon is pretty decent, gives a story and some challenges.  The Descent..... (in my opinion) is a disappointment.  The story had potential, there wwas potential.  The story falls flat and the play through is nothing more than a slugfest with waves of foes. There is a new DLC fortcoming.... hopefully it is more Jaws of Hakkon-like and not another Descent.

 

I hope that my ramblings help you to play and enjoy the game.  This game , like other games out there., is not everybody's cup of tea.

 

Cheers!

The classes are what you make of them.  In fact, I find it more difficult to get into ranged characters than KE.  Also the companion AI isn't world beating, but it isn't as bad as you are making out.  And if it was perfect then the player wouldn't have anything to do in game.

 

Since it sounds like you have excluded KE, and are leaning towards rogue, an archer assassin might be what you are looking for.  Of course, Archer is good with any of the rogue specializations, although I would lean towards artificer or assassin over tempest.
