It's sad to see you resort to cheats so fast, but spamming potions has never been the way to go in D&D games like baldurs gate.
Not likely that you ever planned on doing so, but i suggest you stay away from Baldurs Gate 1 as it even harder.

Do you have a priest in your party? if so, get some buffs before rushing in. My experience through baldurs gate, icewind dale & nwn is that potions are merely post-battle patch up items. If you need to spam them during the battle, ur doin it wrong.

Besides, i'm glad that you in particular are Seya, otherwise the entire storyline of DA would be spoiled by tomorrow morning through means of an unavoidable screenshot spam showing every key moment the game has to offer ...
