I'm not sure what part of reminding Larian about the tried and true D&D formula and what D&D is supposed to feel like constitutes trying to avoid challenge. As is clear from the excellent formula posted by VeronicaTash, it's like 15% of encounters that are easy, but they should still be there so the party can feel powerful without using resources. We're talking one shotting with cantrips and normal swings. In a very small percent. The rest includes challenging and extremely challenging encounters. So you're just constructing a strawman to feel better and be a supercilious troll, as far as I can tell.
By the way, for the record, I've beaten Shinobi, Ninja Gaiden, Battletoads, and newer games like Dark Souls. Even in Dark Souls you encounter enemies you just trash. I could one shot a ton of ads with pyromancy in that game.
