Help?



So, I'm in the keep facing down the Arishok. Isabella has screwed me over, I don't have Fenris with me, and the Arishok is totally not offering me a one-on-one duel, so me and my party of Aveline, Varric, and Anders (plus my not-as-awesome-as-in-DAO dog) have to defeat seven thousand Qunari and their never-ending supply of mages. (Okay, the seven thousand is an exaggeration, but I die just as efficiently as if it weren't.)

I've fought this battle five times now and can't win. Any tips? I've set the tactics up so that each party member should use a healing potion if they fall too low without getting a heal from Anders, but the cooldown time on both healing and stamina/mana potions is screwing me badly. I've been switching back and forth between my Rogue!Hawke and Anders to try to keep Anders alive when I need him to switch to full-on healing mode, I've set the difficulty level to "casual", I'm trying to kill all the Qunari mages as soon as I can find the fuckers, but they keep popping up all the way across the battlefield and smacking my party down with those fucking lightning things or whatever they are.

I completed all the quests I could find so I think I'm leveled as high as I can get for this fight, and I just have no idea how I'm supposed to win this.

Anyone?

For now, I think I'm going to clean the kitchen. It will be much more fun than this battle.

While you're at it, if you can't use potions and you've got the Console enabled, try runscript healplayer. it will heal your entire party up to full health and can be run entirely while paused -- you can just pause the game, run the script, and unpause when your team is back up to full health.
