Well, what an „average” strength score of 10 represents is up to debate. Presumably none offer adventuring party is weak by casual standards - they are all fit for adventuring afterall.

That said from variety standpoint, I do find it rather dull how every single NPC is a shredded hottie. Just makes the whole bunch feel less distinct and relatable.

The only real issue I had were characters characterised by physical strength not getting appropriate attribute spread (aka Halsin, Minsc). But it has more with BG3 lack of integration of narrative and systems more than anything else.
