The Crushing Prison spell wipes out most to all of my team's hit points before releasing them, but barely does any damage to the enemy before releasing them.

 

The Curse of Mortality spell also does wicked damage to my team since it takes out lots of hit points and we can't heal until the curse lifts, but it never seems to do more than 1/4 damage to enemies before releasing them.

I can’t help but notice that most enemy mages have both these spells, and like to cheat-cast both of them in quick succession. Funny, that.

It is because special attacks can't be blocked, they are actually "actions" that bypassed dice rolls and turns, auto attacks are actually following turns

 

Round 1 - your attack score vs enemy defense score

Round 2 - enemy attack score vs your defense score

 

Actions such as overwhelm, shield bash, ect bypassed the turn

 

That's a bad developer choice, not a good reason.

 

Many of the other special attacks, still need to hit, or need to pass a resistance check or both.

 

Having no check of any kind is cheesy and annoying.  Bioware didn't really spend much effort making their new RPG system, and it's a mess.

 

Even if they fixed the actual bugs, it is poorly designed without much thought behind it and negligible play testing.

 

Bioware's previous Fasntasy RPGs(BG/BG2/NWN), used D&D rulesets. They weren't perfect but some actual effort went into design/testing them.

And you can do the same. Or set up custom tactics so the AI does it for you.

Ultimate rage moment in this game: that one bridge in the Deep Roads where two groups of shrieks spawn on either side of you and ambush you. Even when I know it’s coming, it’s virtually impossible for me to complete this part without someone falling in battle. Hate, hate, hate it!

 

Also: the bit in the circle tower with the desire demon and the charmed templar. She summons a whole crap-load of undead, and that battle always goes on for an eternity.

 

In my later games I started using traps (big style), on the shriek bridge pile a load of traps behind you just before you get to the middle and then you'll only have to fight the ones that come at you from the other side. 

 

My personal 'unfair moment' was when I was battling the gatekeeper and his pals in the ruins and for some reason all of the werewolves and shadow wolves from the side alcoves also decided to join in (i think there's about 15 of them in total including the gatekeeper's gang), this has happened to me only once but I was very lucky to survive.

The only resistance is physical and mental, but i do agree that overwhelm cannot be resisted is laziness. At least in KotOR there are 3 save check, and if saved will result with different effect
