Started my second play-through, and for fun i tried at nightmare difficulty level to find out how hard it would be. My party compose of all female and all mage (almost), with the Arcane Warrior (my primary character), plus Wynne, Morrigan and Leliana. Currently i'm at level 9 after finished mage origin's quest, Ostagar (including Korcari Wilds), Lothering and Circle of Magi quest. The game is patched to 1.02.
So far nothing excessively difficult, the most challenging fight was of course the Uldred guy in the Circle of magi's quest. It was quite the pain it the ass, as he and his minions seem to selectively attacking my party members:
1) First, in the 7-8 reloads before i beat him, Uldred almost always going straight for Wynne, which coincidently i put her as main rescuer when someone low on health or killed (revival). In all the fights, Wynne became the first party's member to fell by Uldred if not by his minions.
2) second, after killing Wynne, they go after my main character - a AW, which again coincidently at that time i customized her with some nasty spells (paralysis, Virulent Walking Bomb, miasa). Unfortunately Uldred tend to freeze her, and if not his minions will quickly dropped her before having more chance to cast spell.
3) Morrigan at that point only developed one dangerous spell - cone of cold. Again Uldred tends to freeze her first or with some kind of paralyzing spells. Also, Morrigan's spells seem ineffective as at that difficulty level, as the enemy or boss apparently much more resistant to magic attacks.
4) Leliana was the one that draw less attention and thus she usually the last one to go down. She also didn't have many killer moves - only had the Deadly strike, shattering shot, and backstabbing with a crappy dagger.
The last battle that killed Uldred was mostly due to my party quickly dispatched his minions, which again trying to kill my important party members. After my AW and Wynne gone down, Uldred almost killed Morrigan but because of my good timing in squashing health, mana potions and as well as casting of Cone of cold, Morrigan finally avoided the same fate. Also, the use of Litany of Adralla (passed on after my primary died) at proper moment. And with Leliana keep backstabbing at Uldred while he keep focused on Morrigan, the two weakest party members won the fight.
