With all the years that this game has been out, I would have hoped there was some kind of mod released that simply disables (or otherwise prevents enemies from using) the ability "overwhelm," but thus far I've been unable to find one. Does anyone know of a mod that does this? The reason being, I've started playing DA:O on Nightmare as a solo character--it's a lot of fun if you like a challenge! ...and I'm running into the same problem that many other people on the internet apparently have had, which is that Overwhelm (and similar moves like the ogre's and dragon's Grab) basically means instant death, as they ignore defense, stun you for a long time, and deal a ton of damage. Not only that but multiple overwhelm-capable enemies (e.g. a pack of wolves) can chain-overwhelm you one after the other and completely lock you out of the game. So, unless you're playing arcane warrior (which makes even a Nightmare solo run feel easy), when you're rolling solo and you're in a fight against spiders, wolves, bears, shrieks, drakes, dragons, etc. you basically have to pray they don't ever use overwhelm. If they don't, you have a chance at winning...if they do, you mind as well reload an earlier save. Overwhelm and its relatives don't add difficulty to a Nightmare solo run, they just add annoyance. There's nothing you can do to prevent it from happening other than pray all your foes decide not to use it, and if they DO use it, you simply have to keep reloading saves until they miraculously decide not to. Is there anything out there that can do this?
