The encounter difficulty in BG3 depends on your ability NOT to focus on DnD mechanics.
Focus on Larian's homebrew and every encounter is close to very easy.

As a DnD player I guess you had used DnD strategy and possibilities.

This works more or less for most combats even if, according to me it's usually too difficult for a normal game mode.

That said, when you'll learn the mechanics that don't belong to DnD, this difficulty completely change from "+- normal to very difficult" to "very easy to +- normal".

The balance of the game is terrible because the two systems used are not balanced at all with each other.
The majority of players talking about the game hope this will be fix according to this forum and reddit polls.
