Food isn't too strong, if they nerf food then you cannot mix and match your party match up. I prefer how Larian makes their games because they let you play *your* way. If you want to ignore food and bring a cleric with you all the time, go for it, but I want to play a lot of different classes in multiple playthroughs. If they makes it so you MUST bring a certain class, then you have no choice but to play the same way, every single time...

Please don't suggest changes that make people play exactly the same way to proceed in game.
