Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback This isn't Baldur's Gate

I don't think that levels should be taken so literally as some in-universe thing.
It's more of a gameplay thing.

I don't mean that a high level creature isn't canonically stronger, just that it's not like high level creatures have some invisible force field that is all like '' no lvl 1's can harm me '' canonically.
People need to separate the actual gameplay itself from the story events and lore.
