I mean, the game is amazing, has amazing dialogues, atmosphere and all that, but damnā€¦ the combat is surely a downer. Feels like theres no ā€œrealā€ tactic to the game other than just keep on (mindlessly) trying until the battle is won. And yes, Iā€™ve done all quests, sidequests, with a ā€œnon-memeā€ party on the balanced difficulty and Iā€™m -still- having lots of ā€œplease donā€™t use (x) skill or else my whole run is done forā€ moments.

Are you immediately running into battles or are you taking the time to examine the environment and enemies before initiating battles? Obviously itā€™s not always possible, but I usually spend a few minutes to plan some things before starting a fight.

I look at the environment to see if there are any items I can use to my advantage (barrels, chasms, etc.) or any optimal places to position my people (e.g., up high and out of sight for my rogue).

I also examine the enemies before hand to look at their strengths and weaknesses, and I change out my prepared spells accordingly.

In a game with dice rolls, itā€™s inevitable that some things will come down to luck. But I do think thereā€™s still a lot of ā€œtacticalā€ planning to be had both during the battles but even before the fight starts as well.
