I haven't got so far yet. Had a few hard times in battle in the forest but as soon as I got a hang of the strategy mode things went ok. Last night struggled to take the Ogre out on top of the tower after during the battle at the beginning. Took me three loads to finally get my strategy right - used the one guy's taunt skill and then let him run like a rabbit, while the rest kept hammering. Went through the whole speech afterwards with the witches and the alt-tabbed out. When I tabbed back in Dragon Age fell over. So tonight I'll have to fight the ogre again, sigh.

One thing that bothers me is I missed some stuff in my mission, that I thought I could go back to later. Like I wanted to explore more of the forest, but as soon as I got to the Guardian cache they transported me back to camp. And I'd thought I'd cure the dog after I spoke to Duncan but the speech immediately took me to battle, not allowing me to complete the other quest. I kept playing as the story bound me so I am rather unwilling to reload earlier saves. On my second playthrough (as there surely will be one) I'll do those quests in the right order though. Just a bit irritating that they don't warn you.
