I dunno. I've never played Baldur's Gate or Neverwinter Knights, but from KOTOR onwards, although you do tend to get more powerful enemies in bigger swarms, there's something different this time.

I think it's what Funky implied, and that it's my strategy. Combat is never a big focus for me, so in previous games I would rarely use tactics, and to be honest, I'm not even sure they were there. I have used them a little bit, but I find my strategy has become to blitz some guards in a room next to me with Inferno, to start lowering their health and making it easier for Alistair and Leliana to hack them up, while Morrigan picks them off.
