I don't know, even on first playthrough, I only had problems with attacking grove and spider boss. But it was fun, first experience for a normal level of difficulty is quite decent. Main rule is don't treat it like a board game, treat it like a video game, and then you will quickly understand what's what.
I noticed that for many DnD fans this game seems difficult, a strange coincidence.
Maybe not a coincidence if DnD is all they've ever played.
I played all the early Infinity Engine DnD-based games, but also a bunch of other ones like DOS 1 and 2, Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2, and most recently Wasteland 3. I don't find BG3 especially difficult. Very tough in a few individual encounters but that's expected. Maybe it's a little easier for someone familiar with other game systems.
