Interesting quiz, although large sections of it were about player killing which has zero interest for me.

I ran into an even more annoying bug in the Fade that seems like it may be related.

I've only installed 2 mods recently, the extra dog slot mod and the official DLC Return to Ostagar. Since doing that, I've run into a problem in the fade where every time my xp bar maxes out it gets permanently ...

The lack of backstab basically makes swashbuckler an "almost" fighter with thief skills. Great if you don't really want a thief but still want to be able to disarm traps, pick locks, etc. Swashbucker>Mage can work as sort of a substitute for a Kensai>Mage. Less offense but a lot more defense + thief ...

Using Ascension + Tactics is not a good idea if you're creating a fresh character or party and going straight to ToB, skipping SoA. Pretty sure the ToB stuff for those assumes that you already finished SoA and aren't just using the few trinkets you start with fresh in ToB. I've tried the opening ...

*Warning, some spoilers included*

I've found all the battles in tactics quite doable. The caveat being when you do them... The boss fights I do by the end of chapter 3 are Illych, Maevar, Torgal, and Bohdi. I save all the rest for chapter 6. Unfortunately some of the fights are basically impossible ...

Viconia works fine as is in the vanilla game. If you're using Tactics or one of the other difficulty mods you might want to use something like the Level 1 NPC mod to change her to a multiclass.

The game already allows you to create your own party from scratch but then you miss out on all the NPC ...

"There are a lot of fights in tactics/ascension that you can't possibly complete without having an extensive knowledge of the game."

The other part that most people skip when talking about how easily they can beat tactics/ascension is how much game time is spent paused, how much time is spent ...

I love the personality that Bioware gave some of the characters in this game but for the most part I hate their choices for actually developing the characters. So I use the level 1 PC mod to just change the NPCs to the class/skill combos I want and then pick based on personality/quest/character ...
