I think I've seen mods to disable certain graphic things. They might help some.
I love advanced tactics and I use it a lot. I got so I found the combat was really unchallenging, even on nightmare mode for most fights. I always went heavily cunning for my rogues and used that one ability that lets cunning stand for dexterity... lethality.
Archery is crap in DAO but great in Awakening, so I rarely play with Leliana, especially if my PC is a rogue. I like the sleep/horror combination. Force field is extremely useful when someone has something like stinging swarm and death hex on them and you can't heal them. Just stick them in a force field until the death hex wears off.
I never remember to use Alistair's templar abilities. Sometimes I put them in advanced tactics though. I always start healing at 50% and if heal isn't up, then I use group heal if 2 or more players need a heal and they're below 75%. It's kind of cautious but better that than have an unpleasant splat. It's all in my tactics setup.
Usually I use Alistair, PC, Wynne and Zevran as a team and ignore everyone else. Dagger rogues can do wonderful damage if you spec them correctly. There were some guides to builds I read at one point, I'm sure they're still around.
