Just need a bit of help!

Hey everyone, hope you're doing well.
Just looking for a bit of advice about missions in BG2: EE. I used to play the original back in the day and seemed to have no issues. Now I'm replaying the new version and just can't seem to stay alive. I did the D'Arnise hold pretty ok, but got absolutely screwed on Haer'Dalis' mission and the Planar Sphere? Is it recommended to do these later because the game seems to promote that you can do them pretty early on.
FYI, I'm playing as an elven sorcerer. Once again thanks for the help and I'm aware I'm probably just not as good at the game as I think I am haha, but it does seem to be incredibly more difficult than last time.
So what am I doing wrong?
Cheers, have a great day.

BG1 was different, since difficulty grew as you grew through the chapters.
As with many things in the games, it comes far more natural if you play the game parts in sequence and *grow* with it, rather than to take them part by part.
Cheers!
Those quests are hard but it's part of "the game" to find that out and try them later.
I'd suggest the Copper Coronet slavers as an early quest and then going to Trademeet. Good equipment and lots of gold on those as well.
Personally I find D'Arniss Keep tricky even nowadays (too many things hitting too hard) so you can't be doing too badly.
If you are using a cleric charname, then the sewers first; D'arnise if you are keeping enough fighters around(who doesn't require sleep after every couple of fireballs); Dragons as soon as you have enough skull traps(and a sequencer to hold them), etc.
But Haer'Dalis' mission should always be one the last...
Planar Prison is rougher than some, but lowering the difficulty might be a good call if you're going to stall there, as its impossible to interrupt. What part is holding you up?
Down in the weird meat pits you can always send in a guy or two, do some damage, then exit, breathe, heal and then go down again. Most definitely avoid going down with half your team into a githyanki meat trap and have half of the team being swarmed by enemies above so that you have to try and gather your team whilst running around being mobbed.
Btw, are you playing a sorc with a party or soloing as sorc?
The entering fight is very tricky when you are still learning the game, which it's meant to be to give you the idea that perhaps you should come back later. But it's not made clear in BG2 that that's the "correct" thing to do, (come back later), because everybody is nagging you to help them.
