By the way, BG2 had some gloves of 18 dex that were wonderful on Keldorn and enough strength boosters to go around. I don't think you've really got a strong case for such items to be "stupidly OP" and part of some MMO itemization when items are in line with what we had in BG2.
By the way, you could also roll a BG2 martial characer with bad strength and dex and then use gloves and a strength belt, but then you couldn't use any other items in those slots. And you had to suffer bad stats until you actually got the items. I suspect the same will be the case here.
Agreed that BG2 also had those items and also agree that using them ment you cannot equip more fancy stuff found later
Are able to redistribute our stats on respec in BG3? If so, than people won't be suffering if they metagame.
