Sorry for complaining, really enjoy the game, but the AI is really bad. On missions where you have to escort weak characters around, they should stay back and avoid fighting, but they rush out and die in a few hits. On several occasions my party of henchmen disappear, or don't respawn with me. Other times my healer will get stuck on nothing and run back and forth, which sucks especially when I am dead and need to be rezed, or just want her to die so I can respawn. It really sucks having to restart an entire mission or start several maps away from where you wanted to be. Sorry, just had to say something because it was making me angry.

I had an incident like this just the other day..

-slight spoiler-

I am in the desert, and in this area you have to use teleporters to get around..So of course, I go through and have to face around 6 powerful monsters alone..because, you guessed it..my henchmen were running back and forth through the desert!

Then, when I died I couldn't even be resurrected or respawn because of them, and had to head back to a town.

Rurik, if you die again, I'll bloody kill you!

Damn I hate that guy. In the Nolani mission he rushed towards a huge group of Charr that slaughtered him and the entire party.
Sadly all the escort quests involve suicidal low-level characters who try to fight alongside you yet get killed fairly quickly. You have to carefully monitor their actions.

On the other hand, I think the enemy AI is rather cool. Charrs, for example, advance in groups: it's not easy to lure one of them away. If under an AoE spell, their casters tend to step away from the fire and they sometimes coordinate their attacks together to focus-fire at one party member.
