Unbelievable damage! Unplayable!

in Baldur's Gate: Siege of Dragonspear
Okay, I'm facing something weird. Most monsters do from 20 to 50 dmg a hit. Since characters got, for some of them less than 50 hp... it's a thaco race! I'm playing on Insane with dmg bonus deactivated! So a 50 dmg would be a 75 dmg!!! This is... unplayable.

I'm considering a long wait until this is balanced. I've played more than 2 000 hours at baldur's gate and those skeletons are really... really close to solo a dragon!

    That's weird...I'm also on insane with dmg bonus turned off, same as yours. I don't have any problem of that sort. Skeleten bones are all over the floor, with hardly any dmg on my part. Are you sure you're not on LoB mode? Btw can the dmg bonus still be deactivated even when on LoB, for anyone who does know?

    You're either playing on Legacy of Bhaal mode, or you're not wearing a helmet. Only cheats or a crit can produce the numbers you're mentioning.

    Well. I figured that, my main character is a thief. And I got Edwin, so my whole party is easy to kill! I need to find a fighter. I think I'll make one :) (push save in multiplayer, make a decent fighter, push it to single player)

    It's a major balancing mistake. It's like they only tested Fighter class lol If your a thief, you cannot have a fighter in your team (yet) Damn I need Dorn asap!

    I'm not playing LoB, which makes me wonder, is it activated on me even if I don't want it to lol!

    Is there a way to know if you are playing with LoB activated?

    You can go to the gameplay tab to tell. If you can change the difficulty, it's not LoB. If the difficulty slider doesn't appear, you're in LoB mode.

    That's normal damage for crits on Insane difficulty with 100% damage increase.

    LoB is pretty obvious at low levels though.
