The combat in the game is starting to frustrate me a little and I was wondering if any of you fine folk could help. I'm only vaguely familiar with this kind of game, and with WoW terminology and such.
I get that a tank is a heavily armoured warrior that draws in attacks from enemies while your ranged party members attack from a distance. I've got two warriors in my party that I guess I'm trying to use as tanks, but they're right pussies and go down so easily that my ranged guys don't have a chance to do any real damage.
I'm at the point in the game where you enter Redcliffe castle, and every stupid little battle with shuffling corpses is nailing me big time. I'm having to save after every little fight and my party is seriously injured.
What am I doing wrong?? I can't get the custom tactics to have any discernible effect so I'm trying to micro manage by pausing frequently and keeping all my guys on 'hold position' but it's sodding impossible. I'm constantly seeing my guys just standing there while several enemies melee the crap out of them, and they don't fight back. They're just standing there taking hits before dieing. Why is that? Is that because i've got 'hold position' turned on? If I turn hold position off they just run about like headless chickens getting reamed.
