Don't be too rough with each other! We're here to appreciate, and sometimes lightly rib, Tolkien's fantastic creation, and all of its derivative works. Arguments happen, but remember, in the words of Tolkien, that food and cheer and good song are what make a merrier world!

See, this is why I like game mods
Bg3 in particular is bad about the really cool and really good gear not being available until the very end, where you don't have time to enjoy it fully (well, barring some of the gear that's a tad unbalanced in vanilla unmodded play, but there's really not much of that).
So, load a mod after your second or third playthrough where having endgame gear doesn't hurt the experience. Rip through act 1, yes, but by the end of act 2, you're getting back to being balanced (as balanced as it gets lol) again, and you're where the story beats are more meaningful anyway.
Get bored with that? Don't use the mod! It's a choice your can make even mid playthrough.
I wish more games would have that kind of freedom.
One of the things I liked about the OG Fallouts was being able to just go and get the power armor right at the start which you could do if you knew where it was and what all was needed to actually get it. And Elden Ring/Dark Souls are really good at letting you go to end game areas and grabbing stuff asap, too. Some are behind bosses, but a lot aren't.
