How many times do we have to listen to you people whinging about this stuff? What do you think is going to change? Half the stuff you moan about is not even BG3, it's 5e.
1. First, no it isn't. For whatever balance problems 5e has, it would definitely not be advising you to hand out items of the strength that Larian is handing out in this game, or the unbalanced tadpole powers, and haste is written the way it is in 5e for a reason (which Larian changed for this game in a way that greatly empowers martials.)
2. It is entirely a legitimate criticism when many players find that the final act of the game becomes a slog because ill-considered items and powers makes combat trivial. For example, I paid good money for this game and I could not enjoy a full playthrough because of the above issues, 2/3rds in it became a chore. I'm waiting to see how things go with future patches and such before I commit to another playthrough. My conclusion from this would not be "Oh I need to use mods!" it would be "I shouldn't buy Larian games in the future." If I can't get at least one good playthrough out of a game, I usually don't think that investing my time in trying out a bunch of mods to make it fun would be worth it.

Honestly, what is the point of your post? What do you lose by people pointing out some of the issues with this game's difficulty? What harm is being done to you or your experience?
