Which goblins have tons of hp? There's couple bosses with 26-28, but most of them have 8-16hp.
Typically, goblins only have 7 (2d6) hp, so even 8-16 is high. This is not necessarily a bad thing. However, while Larian reduced their AC to compensate, Larian did *not* reduce their Saving Throws (thus devaluing ST spells like Sacred Flame) or give a proportional buff to Sleep.
That said, these goblins have been present from the start. So I'm not sure why OP groups them with updates such as fixing video sequences..
