This is my first playthrough through this game. Kindly avoid posting spoilers in the comments or solutions to puzzles either in this video or future ones so as not to spoil the experience for me or those that haven’t seen the game before.

Though I didn't realise it at the time, the combat AI likes to have at least one opponent fighting each of the people in your party. This means that Owyn can very quickly end up toe-to-toe with a melee combatant that he's ill prepared for, unable to cast spells and forced to either fall back or whack him with his staff ineffectually. Having Locklear and Gorath both focus on the one chasing Owyn is a good counter but they'll have people chasing them too that they might want to focus on first, making combat very tactical even at this early point in the game.

The Mac Mordain Cadal has more than just groups of hunters out for the Brak Nurr that you need to watch out for. Scattered about are treasure chests and while the chances they contain riches are high, they could also be trapped. At this early stage in the game, we can detect traps but we're not ready to disarm them yet unless there's something I'm missing so we're going to have to be a lot more cautious when it comes to random containers we find lying about in dwarven mines and on the road.

That we should've been more careful to begin with is a very valid point well made.
