I just did the gith fight with a two person lvl 4 party no cheese, no barrels, no scrolls, no pre-setup except for having aid up, and I used one (1) alchemists fire. Just walked straight in there, had a chat, called them traitors then dealt from there. Took 2 reloads before I got it. Only possible because I've been playing the EA a lot, but it goes to show that it can be done - to link bg1 and 2, i used to end up with a tpw all the time when I was first playing - walking into fights without knowing what was going to happen, walking into areas I wasn't leveled for, not understanding properly how spells worked and which ones to use, but now its super easy to run through on insanity with SCS installed because i've been playing it for years. I like the difficulty of BG3 as it stands, including the throwables, and I like the challenging fights, and I'm sure there will be a difficulty slider, just like BG1 and 2 had difficulty sliders.

What is most frustrating are the bugs and the clunky controls for positioning, moving around, difficult to see indicators for attacks of opportunity, that sort of stuff. As well as the enemy AI being pretty stupid.
