Is my "Dragon Age: Origins" Game Broke?

Ok, so i've bought it new recently for xbox 360 and learned about the tactics slot and jumped into it imeddiately telling what charecters to do when...



Well did i screw somethhnig up or is the game screwed up, heres whats wrong



Im currently doing the High Dragon (Nightmare Mode) at the Urn Of Ashes quest, and i have Allistair (TANK) set as



(Tactics Slot)

Enemy - Any = Attack



Well, everytime the High Dragon moves an inch, Allistair suddenly will just stand there like some fear struck moron... he's not stunned either



So, im mostly playing from my Archer Rogue view or my Assasin Rogue view and whenever he does this, (Which is every 5 seconds) i have to do the option that selects all party members then select attack on the dragon, well Wynne (HEALER) Will start attacking along with us, and next thing i see is Allistair's health dropping like he's a level 1 and Wynne isn't even doing anything about it, then boom, "DEAD"



To prove she should be healing, her tactics are set to



Allistair - Health - 90% = "Life Ward"

Allistair - Health - 75% = "Regeneration"

Allistair - Health - 50% = "Heal"

Allistair - Health - 25% = "Group Heal"



4 different things she can do for him, yet she wont do a single one, and then he dies



And YES SHE HAD Magica, i have her set up where she'll never go below 50%





Is there something broke here? In simple question form,



How do i make allistair attack without me telling him to when the dragon moves a centimeter



and



How do i make Wynne heal whenever i use a "Full party selected" action.Is my "Dragon Age: Origins" Game Broke?
I probably can't answer the first part... I don't think I've ever had Alistair with a single tactic. You'd think that with a single tactic of Enemy + Any = Attack that he should lock onto the dragon and get to work, even if he's forced to disengage because the dragon takes off and then reorients herself.



For the second, by selecting Party/All, you are directing Wynne's action. She is not going to process a tactic while under a direct command, and the Attack command should work continuously until the target is dead.



Considering that they are working the opposite way that you want them, have you tried just disengaging Alistair's tactic and setting him to the Attack command? If he is set to aggressive (rather than defensive) and freezes without the tactics active, then you'll know it's something to do with the mob mechanics, or game mechanics, or both - but not the tactics.
