A lot of games scale people down with a lot less excuses. An archmage smited down to level 1 is a bit easier of a pill to swallow to me compared to a partly weakened god who is for some reason level one and running around using basic mage spells (I will not be indicating what character this is cause spoilers, but it is a game with companions that may or may not have been mentioned) or in Inquisition you got Iron Bull who is an accomplished merc captain and qunari spy (not a spoiler) yet joins level 1 and clearly unable to do the feats he is famed for.
Games tend to have a suspension of disbelief with companions being scaled, and at least BG3 has an excuse for their scaling.
