I can't try out different tactics that way if my party composition isn't suited for the situation.

For some reason the party selection bugs me anyway. I know its there for gameplay reasons, I can intellectually appreciate that. But from within the game… Here I have all my friends, my band of brothers and sisters! Two warriors, two mages, two rogues, a golem, and a wardog! The elite! A friggin' force of nature! And you ask me to go save the world against several armies of darkspawn WITH ONLY THREE COMPANIONS AT A TIME???? WHY OH YE GODS, WHY????
