I don't know if you played WotR on the core (the name indicates that this is the level you should play at) or higher, but it was literally a circus there.
I did. I even complained about it on this forum during the first two Alpha.
Frankly by the time the game released it was already tuned down considerably. While I may attribute this PARTIALLY to my increase familiarity with the game, I found the difficulty at release to be absolutely manageable compared to some soul-crushing difficulties I experienced at core during Alpha 1 and 2. I still think that OVERTUNED encounters where all enemies have RIDICULOUSLY bloated stats is the worst thing about the two Owlcat cRPGS so far and the one area where I hope to see improvements.
Party control in Baldur's Gate 3 is a complete mess that begs to be addressed. SAY NO TO THE TOILET CHAIN
