Guys, for the 100th time, it's up to the individual to decide whether they want to abuse the game or not. This is same in real life, you want to be a crook and a cheater then so be it, it's your own choice, it's not Larian Studios or Gods fault. In BG1 and 2 you could roll for god like abilities and in BG2 you didn't even have to, you could get perfect god like ability scores right at the start of the game by discarding your strength and charisma and getting two items that max out your strength and charisma right at the beginning of the game.
That is not true at all.
The game is VERY hard if you don't use any cheats (including backstab, highground bonuses).
Those cheese are EVERYWHERE and the whole game is based arround them. Our job as players is not to try the game 34 times to understand everything and choose what to use or not to custom our playthrough.
Things HAVE to be balanced even if WTF things aren't a problem. Barrelmancy is really a choice for fun. Everything else is not and really matter in the balance of difficulty.
