Its not even about the difficulty level. Its about how the world feels. In BG3 the execptional is standard.
Still it all could be just some skewed perception.
It is skewed perception I think.
"MLG methods" out of the picture, knowing the terrain and situation is half the battle.
And we can encounter an enemy as often as we like by reload.
First time the Minotaurs bodyslammed and Sumowrestled the nine Hells out of my group before I even knew what was going on.
Cause we ran into them with unfavourable positioning. When I knew though, they became my beef.
This is the power of knowing what's gonna happen.
Same as with the Beholder and Hag.
