i dont think thats a particulary good source for ADnD.
I know people that regulary play ADnD and theyre of the level 1 human male fighter only final destination type.

BG2 is a sequal. With a tighter story.
Thats why poeple loved it.
Most people that obsess over high level wizard stuff learned it from BG2, not the other way around.
its associated with BG2.

a campaign specifically about this.
you forget that kingmaker started you at level 1 fighting bandits a lot.
most RPG players enjoy a growht in power, which comes from starting low.

DnD has a lot of measures for how fast your character can grow. Pathfider kingmaker is a much more systematic game than BG3 is. the encoutners are repeated and the game taeksplace over a long (in universe) timeframe.
Thats why you can reasonably hit a high level without the game artificially inflating your XP gain.

>Stronger spells stronger enemies stronger...
Yeah. Stronger.
i fail to see the reason why this is supposedly better.
Unless you care about high level wizard wank which i dont.
I care about mid level DnD where the party has to work together.

Your entire argument builds on the assumption that someone else enjoys exactly that kinda gameplay you do.
