Higher teir spells ate 'too hard' to make properly in 2023. But, in 2000, they were made beautifully.
This is not true. Let's not act like BG2 was anywhere near as good as BG3, let alone better. The wish spell in BG2 especially was absolutely butchered, worked like a slot machine without downsides...which is NOT how it works in D&D at all. Not to mention that game didn't have nearly the amount of spells and abilities of BG3.
