And I get curious about seeing those saying it is easy on tactician play. I play on normal, as I do with every game, and I find combat neither too easy nor too difficult but I have been playing RPGs for 25 years. I use mods to make things more in line with 5e, I rarely if ever use haste or 'until long rest buffs', I don't really bother with any buffs unless I'm obviously struggling in a particular. I'm in Act 2 and my party is bard, Shadowheart, Lae'zel and Karlach. Shadowheart has been the main magic user with the bard mostly working a xbow. I don't have to keep running back for a long rest or running around trying to buy potions or scrolls. None of this makes me a real man or a badass - it's just the way I like to role play.
I watch lots of YT vids and some of the 'Tactician Mode'/'Hardest Difficulty' players are really good; some are hopeless and some cheat.

He is always chopping and changing his party and he's respecced a few times and it just so happens that the party composition is just what is need for that next big fight. Same story with him continually swapping out spells and that potion he just happens to find in his inventory.
Heliax Gaming shouldn't be playing on Tactician - he takes a pounding in even the most average fight. He's respecced Lae'zel to ranger for some reason and the gear his party are using isn't great.
Mortismal is good but I don't like the way he plays.
Few of the Tactician crowd ever say how many attempts it took to win a fight. Fights are a hell of a lot easier even the second time around on any difficulty.
