Nope.

Unique, interesting loot is part and parcel of RPGs. The Staff of the Magi, Flail of Ages, Circlet of Netheril, Robe of the Archmagi, Cloak of Balduran and so on are part and parcel of the BG2 game.

PST is a whole other story. Combat wasn't really part of it the way it was in Arcanum and the other IE games.
