I don't really understand the reception Dragon Age 2 is getting. It's the same as the first game, except the combat is actually fun instead of being comparable to driving nails very slowly through your testicles. Also, Varric.

I'm doing my second playthrough as an archer on hard and I'm an inch away from ragequitting, mainly because of mindless waves fucking up my entire strategy and this thing (that never happened in my first playthrough) where my ranged will run to a corner of a room and just run in place for literally no reason.
Its a shame too because if there was one company I could trust with spending my money on, it was Bioware. And here I am with this unfinished, rushed, and buggy version of the game I wasted $60 on. I absolutely love the story and the characters and the combat (besides the "we're gonna jump your mages and there's literally nothing you can do about it if scythe isn't up), but it really needed more time to become an awesome game.
Set up your tank to primarily protect your mage since you can actually run around and it's very easy to kite things until pinning shot is off cooldown. Exploding arrow with smokescreen is a godsend and so is glyph of paralyze/repulsion. Ever since I did that on my game, my mage and rogue don't get one shotted anymore since they usually group up together and the glyphs will more or less keep any enemies at bay until the tank can run over and pick them up or I cleave them to death on Hawke.
