AI keeps switching targets from the ones I set

Question

Okay so this might not actually be a bug since I seem to recall this happening in my first playthrough as well (it was many years ago) but I've hit a rather annoying problem: the AI keeps switching around targets. Every time I set my characters to attack specific enemies then two seconds later everyone is attacking completely different enemies. Or they're all ganging up on one enemyy despite the fact that I told them to each attack a different enemy. Is this a bug or do I just need to make some changes in the tactics/behaviour menu. If so what do I need to change and what do I change it to?

Thanks in advance

Answer

Thanks for the reply. I've since switched to two handed combat but at least it's good to know this is not a bug.

@Kerberos1291&nbsp;They can be a bit flighty, if I remember correctly. I think tactics tweaking should help. If you're playing on a lower difficulty, the tactic to make them attack your main character's target might help in burning down tricky enemies quickly.&nbsp;That said, it's been a long while since I've gone into any depth with the DAO tactics menu. I first tried the game as a Dwarf rogue when the game launched, that was hard enough that I've only played the game on East since then.&nbsp;Hopefully some other DA enthusiasts will have tips to keep your companions focused.&nbsp;

Just to echo the previous reply, The tactics can be really dodgy sometimes. &nbsp;I have seen magic users charge into melee combat with a full mana pool. So part of the game is getting used to getting the tactics set up. But a good question as it took me a while to figure out when I first started playing
