I spend alot of time doing the tactics of my squad. If you set it up correctly, the AI will do what you want and you can concentrate on your own hero. Its basically just a bunch of If statements. If hero is being meleed, get the tank to taunt. If Tank health is below 25%, use health pot. If Elite mob is in range, get Mage to Crowd control them etc.
Occasionally I'll take control to move them out of AoE, but generally if you prepare them properly, they do a great job. The only problem is if they don't have enough tactics slots. I manually level my group up to stop the AI choosing daft and stupid skills. I noticed that the AI was insisting on getting potion making with about 10 of my party.

You need to redeem your promo codes on the Bioware Social Network site first. Then in the game go into 'Downloadable content' and it should do it for you once logged into your account.
I already did but it's not showing up on downloadable content... 0 -

This game is definitely on my to 5 list bought it on PS3 and im so addicted to it already. The graphics is not bad as what other people say i think the graphics is ari for an RPG game tbh the face on AC 2 is much worst than the character model on this game... definitely worth the money! 0

Has anyone played a Rogue?? Do they get better later... cos I'm finding he ends up being played pretty much like a weak fighter at the moment. Backstab isnt exactly setting the world on fire here (level 6) and other then that and stealth he just seems to be a fighter (ive taken two-handed weapon specialisations). He's not bad, dont get me wrong but just doesnt seem to have strong skills.
Has anyone played a rogue through to the end or high levels? Do they come into their own later (or should I reroll a mage
).

My first playthrough was with a rogue. Later abilities do add some nastiness.
Heavy use of stuns along with the ability to backstab from any direction if the enemy is stunned helps to up the damage rate. Also you can lay traps while stealthed if you're not too close to the enemy.
Also don't forget that under the the DA:O rules, rogues and even mages can happily wear full plate armour.0 -

I enjoyed being a rogue a lot my first play through.
You need to get momentum asap.
Go with a high cunning build and use two daggers to maximise dps, and always make sure you rape your tanks target from behind.
You're basically a slightly less complicated WoW rogue, so all the same rules apply.
The one thing to mention is that rogues only do single target dps, DW sweep and whirlwind aside - if you're having problems with large groups of trash, you may want a mage for the AOE.
What party set up are you playing?
A party involving a tank (presumably Alistair unless you use the respec mod), Morrigan and Wynne would best suit a rogue. You'll need mages for stuns and AOE to be of best use.0 -

Melee rogue dps is pretty nice actually. Backstab is free, no energy cost and is constant. Your dps doesn't drop as much as other classes' does when you run out of energy/stamina which is part of the rogue's strength. You also draw less threat than a dps warrior does which is nice. Against heavily armoured foes a dagger wielding rogue is *lovely*. They need to be micromanaged though because the AI sucks at rogue positioning.
A melee rogue is viable on Nightmare difficulty so honestly I can't fault the class. I've found all classes so far to have their uses with archers being possibly the weakest (though not by much!) though others may disagree.0 -

I have Sten, Morrigan and Pagan (my dog), the dog is quite good actually, he has an AOE stun, a targetted stun and does nice damage in a fight. I kinda like him but they could have downgraded him and let you have another characters really, seems a bit mealy mouthed to make you use a slot for him...
DeV.
Meh I'm not mad on the dog (Minsc for me, my homage to Baldur's Gate). I find he takes way too much damage and far too easily. Before I dropped him he was always the first one to go down in a fight and rarely lasted to the end. Though maybe if I had kept him till I found some decent collars my opinion would be different. 0 -
