PS3 / Dragon Age: Can I heal members outside the party

dragon-age-originsps3

I'm currently in the Redcliffe village battle and although the first part was really easy, I'm struggling on the downhill area.

I've been using my mage to heal and create stuns but everyone slowly dies off that's outside my party.

Is there any way for me to heal members outside my party? I looked around and apparently in the PC version you can TAB to other members but the PS3 Controller obviously has no tab.

Thanks!

The answer to this is unfortunately: nope, not on PS3. You can heal "neutrals" in the PC version but not the console version. Even large area healing spells like Group Heal will fail to affect neutrals.

Depending on your party makeup you can consider using some of the "battle control" skills such as Threaten and Disengage to keep neutrals alive. If your warrior is the most threatening character in the battle he/she will draw attention away from everyone else, including the neutrals. Provided you can keep the warrior alive under this kind of fire, you will probably notice the neutrals lasting longer.
