About 105 hours in Act 2, level 9 assaulting Moonrise on tactician difficulty. I'm playing very thoroughly and in no hurry to finish.
All my companions are fully outfitted and most their quests progressing more or less.
I have to say, levels 3-4 were most difficult for me.
Main character is a devotion paladin, haven't fallen once yet. But it's a game, so Astarion has been doing lots of thieving. Actually, doing a heck of a lot of stealth, makes fights much easier.
Have Lae'zel and Karlach both Str20 with Athlete feat = bounding leaps of death.
Respec'd Shadowheart and gave her Skilled feat at level 4 to restore her to EA thieving usefulness.
Am finding many of the companions much more likeable than in EA.
