I have to disagree. The monsters and encounters in the unmodded game are just no challenge after a few times, not even for most casual-gamers. At least with tactics installed enemies tend to act more believably.

ALthough I wish bandits would quit attacking me. They should know me by now. I have killed rather a lot.

And there are mods the aim to do what your asking for, the imoen romance for example. But its a lot harder to write dialogue than it is to script a big fight, so such mods are less common.
