I’ve not played any dos games before & I’m really enjoying this.
I think if your finding it pretty easy you’re well versed in the mechanics & do quite a lot of scouting & planning before combat.
I played DOS2 many times, always on tactician (hard level), so I am familiar with whatever mechanics are common to both games. One thing I had to do in DoS2 (especially at lower levels) was to heavily prepare for a fight, which often entailed dying a few times until I got a feel for the strategy needed. Just walking into a fight was a death sentence, unlike here where scouting and preparing was never needed.
On the original issue of save scumming, I actually did save at times in anticipation of maybe needing to reload, but I never needed to use it in battle (certainly guilty of having done it in dos2 though, but I was playing with only one character on high difficulty most of the time). Outside of battle, I think the only time I reloaded in BG3 was with the necro tome, because I wanted to see what it did (which seems to be nothing).
