Maybe the game seems easy because of years of replaying the same section over and over? Or you're just good at these games, because I still find the game plenty challenging. You can just turn up the difficulty when we get that option. Is clicking really that much of an issue? I've never been playing a game and thought 'gee, if only I had to click less'. Is that actually a thing people are concerned about? This forum is the only place I've ever seen it brought up as a concern. I genuinely don't believe that there's any reason behind this choice other than Larian wanting combat to be all about offense. That's a throughline that extends to most every alteration to the rules that can't be traced to technical limitations.
