Actually, those tactics are only the default settings. Like Fallout 2, and onward through Final Fantasy XII and some other games I can think of, you can edit custom AI responses / scripts to their automatic combat behaviour so you aren't micromanaging everything all the time. Its all pretty neat once you discover and tinker with it a bit. I'm still having issue with my archers preferring their dual weapon setups, but I can hardly complain as they're doing absurd damage with it.
Playing with our companion mage is ... interesting. I'll have to think of more options with it.
