I thought about doing a mage playthrough and just having a bunch of fighters do the legwork -- kinda similar to how I enjoy playing DA:O -- but thought it might mess up the first playthrough. The random (???) pawn I was given can do fire and healing stuff, so I just kept him around. Not sure if he actually goes up levels or anything, though, so maybe I'll upgrade to some others. I found and enlisted a ninja-looking archer, but missed out on a Mother Teresa healer, lol.
