DA:I's Nightmare difficulty remains an agonizingly slow, trial-and-error-heavy struggle for me, but the thing that still threatens to kill my enthusiasm entirely is - and I hate to sound like a broken record here - those damned gamepad controls. The situation is a little better than I first expected them to be, but fumbling around with the sticks and buttons do add an inevitable extra layer between me and the gameplay which simply wouldn't have been the case if the mouse/keyboard option was properly implemented. To be sure, my recent DA2 playthrough involved a lot of tense and frustrating battles, but just knowing that issuing orders to my party members involved nothing more than a few fast and easy clicks and some relatively quick and painless camera re-arrangements made all the difference in the world.
