Thanks for the comments all, yeah i think my problem may be that my characters are pretty weak by the end of the game and i never take alot of time out to really level them up. That doesn't mean im not enjoying it though on the contrary im thoroughly enjoying it and just like to get on and see what happens next I think my characters had on average about 3500 health by the end i dont know how that compares to most other players but i definately struggled.
