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.
And no other DnD game has ever again contained the Wish spells. Larian could have done the same and left that one out if it was too hard.
Also in that case, why have wild magic sorcs in BG3 if it doesn't even function to a fraction of its power in PnP?
One of the rolls is meant to be that you teleport to and take control over a wizard tower, ok so where's my wizard tower if I play a wild magic sorc in BG3?
And yes no I'll say it, BG2 absolutely was better than BG3, best DnD game to this day with no contest.
