You'd think Bioware would've figured that shit out by the time they got around Cuckon Age.

The difficulty on origins is completely fucked btw. Not just that it's too hard, but that there are spikes fucking everywhere.
Once the tutorial is done, and you finish recruiting Leliana and Sten, the difficulty shoots way the fuck up.
I don't remember how the game scales enemies but I'm pretty sure there are places you shouldn't go to in the beginning. Maybe you playing on too high of a difficulty?

Also, the first mage you get is not a fucking healer. She can learn heal but she doesn't start with it IIRC and has no other healing skills. So it's very likely that the first battles you get into after leaving the refugee town will be super fucking hard and wipe your party over and over.

But the circle tower is fucking bullshit.
Never needed a healer in the beginning besides learning that one healing spell on Morrigan and at the circle tower you get to recruit a dedicated healer but that's way later into the game.

Lol bruh, I know there are areas you shouldn't go early in the game. When I say the difficulty is fucked, I'm talking about shit you literally cannot avoid, like the ambush where you recruit Zevran. You get shoved into a cutscene, then flanked on 2 sides by 4 archer assassins protected by narrow paths covered in traps, while a main group of Zev and heavy hitters comes at you from the front. That encounter happens to you on the road, meaning it's unavoidable. A lot of the road encounters like that are extremely unfair. I kept getting one in early game against a drake and a bereskarn. :lol:

You can't learn Heal on Morrigan until she levels up and the difficulty spike happens right after you leave the Lothering refugee camp area, so she very likely won't have leveled yet. You'll only have 4 tactics slots for her too, so enjoy that shit. Even when she has heal, it's not enough to let you fight 12 genlocks, a hurlock alpha and an emissary at the same time. I'm on normal difficulty btw.

It's not as if I'm completely stuck and can't progress. I just think the game is full of bullshit difficulty spikes and ambushes. Even understanding a lot more of the systems now, I still think the game is BS. I did find that recruiting Shale and running a 2-tank team with Alistair works amazingly well. Maybe Shale is OP because he's dlc.
SpoilerShow
BTW the circle tower isn't "way later into the game." You can go there right after the refugee camp town and woe be unto you if you foolishly want to do so, even though the game gives you no warning about locking you into the hardest dungeon in the game.

Ha, I watched that recently and laughed my ass off. He picked a mage and gave his character full plate armor and a sword. So he couldn't cast for shit, had a long casting time and still took damage like a bitch. GG

One of my big problems with watching Dave is he never plays games I care about and so I can't hate watch with maximum proficiency because I can't understand what he's doing wrong in games I haven't played unless it's really obvious.

See, that's why I was so hyped about him playing Smash because then I could tell with expertize just how badly he was fucking up. Sadly, he barely played any multiplayer.

The best SSF2T player in all of Burgerland? Playing a fighting game against other people? Are you mad?!
