I agree with Niara.
Nobody ever said that adventuring should not be dangerous or deadly. It should be.
Even with only a few enemies that use such spells, I would say that Kingmaker is a great game and it is often very deadly if you are not prepared.
So, you recognize that SoD doesn't break the game. Just forces you to be more cautious right?
But all SoD is irrelevant. BG3 will be 5e and we will not see spells like wail of the banshee even if the game was 2e. A lot of people also complained about will'o wisps but the game first thows one against you. Then few, so if you saw then casting chain lightning, is a good idea to have protection against electricity, right? As for medusas, is a "workaround" solution. There are no flesh to stone spell in the game(despite stone to flesh existing and having zero usage).
Is ironic to think that if Medusas appears on BG3, they will be less dangerous than BG1 low level Basilisks... Cuz takes a lot of time and you need to fail multiple saves to be petrified. Meanwhile on BG1, not only you are insta petrified but also, can't learna stone to flesh spell due lv cap and the scroll of stone to flesh costs an fortune.
