Well, but I do.

All I'm saying is, storywise, these characters are weak and don't make sense.
I also happen to agree with this. But they aren't mutually exclusive problems, and in several ways fairly complementary.

I mean ...
Gale should have ben lover of Goddess of Magic herself ...
Wyll should have ben great hero with dozens of sucessfull battles ...
Etc. etc. you get the idea.
These are indeed also a problem of mismatch between narrative and mechanics (ludo-narrative dissonance, as the stuck-ups know-it-all in gaming journalism love to call it) so not sure what point you think you are making.

"Oh well, it's all senseless shit anyway, so who cares!" isn't really the strongest argument.

BG2 also starts at level 7 minimum and ends up in the 20s (up to level 40 with Throne of Bhaal).
Level 12 is precisely the middle ground where AD&D/2nd Edition used to put the minimum threshold to even qualify as an Archdruid candidate.

Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
