The dificulty isnt what you chose to start with but simply how many mages you use.

I feel its like this...

For every rogue in party: Hard
For every warrior in party:  Medium
For every Mage in party: Easy

Then calculate the average difficulty you will have.

In the first few hours with 1 mage on hard difficulty  (morrigan) every single battle was a potion drinking contest between my characters, exploiting the terrain and whatnot to survive. Then i rerolled as mage, and DAMN that fireball made a difference! Then i got wynne and morrigan so 3 mages 1 warrior, but now the game is way to easy.

Alistar pulling 1000 mobs: Check.
Forcefielding alistar to make him invulnerable: Check
Me casting grease+fireball+inferno: check
Wynne casting earthquake: check
Morrigan casting blizzard check:

Loot....

I love the game so far but why did bioware make this game so ridicolously favored toward mages?

The problem is that the enemies arent several semi hard single opponents. But simply a ZERGFEST that has like... 2 abilities on rotation.

My advice to improve dragon age:

1:Lower the amount of enemies
2: Make each enemy more powerfull
3: Give enemies a wider variety of abilities

Zerging has nothing to to with tactics, as it is now the game is all about having the most AOE.

Please dont flame me, im simply suggesting this for the sake of the game. The combat system itself: Lovely, the spells and abilities, lovely. But... we want tactical fighting not ZERGS. (or is that just me maybe?  )

I wouldnt say it's 100% like that, sure I agree that having more mages makes life easier, but the bane of mages atleast towards the end game are other mages and archers.....buut having said that I use minimum of 2 mages in my group, my char and morrigan, sometimes even wynne while letting either alistair or shale to tank.

[Niten Ryu]

I agree. Zero mage party is very difficult, not against the thrash mobs but those rare boss mobs.

[Isaantia]

If you want tactical fighting play a rogue. I have a lot of fun line-of-sighting, pulling small groups from the larger and kiting mobs. I'm running Morrigan with a heal spell, Zev and Alistair and we hardly ever wipe. I will say the battles probably take a bit longer than the OP mage party.

Wish I could find another mage, I just have Morrigan for now. When do you find Wynne again?

[MrGOH]

I dunno. I found Zevran to be one of the most effective companions. Right behind the mages, of course.

[Naurhir]

Well, I know that I died a lot my first few levels as a mage, whereas my friends who are all warriors had no issues whatsoever.

Kenloch. The circle of magi.

I agree with the OP, the game is lopsided toward casters and melee are just too weak on resists

I told Sten to leave cause I hate his demeanor towards me. When I treat him like crap and don't answer his questions he gives me a favorable response and when I do try and engage him in deeper convo in party camp he gives me unfavorable response. I told his stupid ass to leave and never come back. Good Riddance. 2-handed warriors suck in this game anyway unless u have Wynne to spam heal them they take so much damage. I should of killed him in his cage! Allistair is a good tank if you don't put him on Defensive mode where he will run around near you and not fight anything. You MUST get him taunt as soon as he can wear plate otherwise his tanking ability is useless!

Not sure what im doing wrong then because whenever i have a rogue or warrior in team i feel they do low damage and die fast. And even with shields and heavy armor warriors feel squishy. The thing with mages is that they dont ever need to be afraid.

If each mage has atleast 1 CC they can stop up to 3 stragglers, if you fail to AOE them to death the first time

[Trefecka]

Whats even funnier is if you have you, Wynne, and Morrigan all take Blood Mage as a spec. Then its nearly impossible for any non-boss crowds to even DO anything with 3 Blood Wounds + other spells. 3 Blood controls are also fun to play with...tho it sucks that the blood healing doesn't seem to work on controlled mobs :s



Those few mobs without blood can be frozen...and with bosses ranged casters seem to take a lot less damage than melee. All in all, triple mage seems to be the way to go if you wanna power your way through :s

[AdamTaylor]

I went through the Deep Roads with an all warrior party.



My main as a warrior, Alistair, Oghren, Shale.

Key thing, is to keep using any knockbown abilities you have. The shield bash is essential.

[Kemor]

The game is not a competition of who finds it harder...you don't HAVE to use mages or anything the like.

Yes "some" mage specs make encounters trivial but some other mage specs don't. If you like ending encounters in 5 seconds flat, use lots of AE mages. If you like using lots of tactics and fights where you have to fight for every little step, don't use any mages.

Even on hard you can play without mages, there are plenty enough potions components around the world for this and potions heal MUCH more than any mage heal. You also got traps, which force you to do real dungeon crawling with your rogue as an explorer. It's a different game experience for sure.

[DragoonKain3]

Seriously guys, this is the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate in more ways than one. And mages being OP is not an exception to that.

[sypherin]

I tend to agree that this game becomes easier as the mages increase in levels. I remember back in BG2, I would scout around a dungeon with my rogue and having my mages cast cloudkill right before a group of enemies and just waiting for them to die.. same thing I do now, have Morrigan and Wynne AOE the place and run away to safety and basically enemies just die since they are unable to move.

I used console to make leliana and Alistar both mages, thanks for the help guys

[Krenmu]

Well...My Arcane warrior is crazy...so ranged casters aren't The mages only advantage...they have the melee side of it too, Get the stuff that gives Spell resistance..and the Arcane warrior sword...I do alot more damage than my warrior did...doing pretty much the same thing my warrior was good at. Not to mention...the Buffs a Mage has give an insane amount of defense and armor when stacked with something like the Blood dragon armor.

[elemental150]

i roll one rogue, 2 warriors, and 1 mage (morrigan) and so far I think it is fine. Morrigan is my big damage dealer but it always is like that with the magic users

My 2 warriors keep the baddies in one area for me and my rogue plays clean up
