1) Tacticians who can fight. Fighting ability OR tactical genius, pick one. 2) Retelling the main story. Your readers have played the game, they don't need to hear it again with minor annoying changes 3) Ignoring a prominent character trait for the sake of a pairing (Florina instantly losing her fear of men without any build up, Joshua instantly giving up gambling for the girl he loves, etc etc)

Just because the game does it doesn't mean it's okay for an author insert to do it. Athos can use all three types of magic, doesn't mean it's alright for the OC to.

Soren is canonically a badass.
The OC should not be able to be:
-a sniper -a jousting champion -a swordsmaster -an archsage who can use more than one type of magic and -who shoots lasers from his crotch -while somehow being a master tactician.
Soren gets away with this because he can use magic and he is a tactician (he's smart), but to have an OC tactician (which I'm sure the OP was talking about) who is a master of five weapons plus all magics and also good at tactics? That's just stupid.
If Soren was off on the battlefield with his Killing Edge and his Tomahawk and his crotchlasers... I would have to rage. Quietly. In my corner. With a sadface.
