The mass stunning has to go.
Something this game does that absolutely needs to go, is stopping the player from playing. It has no difficulty later in the game, so it hinges on the ability to stop the player from taking actions. This isn't fun. This isn't challenging. This is us NOT being allowed to play the game.

Use your brains to make a fight hard. Not mass turn skips.

It's just CC. There are ways to counter it.

Which part are you even talking about? I don't remember any particular fights that constantly and forcefully stun you. Remember to get rid of mages first or have characters with counterspell ready.

Man if only there were a way to counter that and or remove the stun.

-There is a spell that removes stuns
- There is a helmet that gives stun immunity

There are a few encounters in the game where there will be a Cleric in a group of enemies that will mass command your entire party to grovel, but other than that I haven't seen anything like you describe. Most CC used by enemies in this game are used on individuals.

Can you give an example? I've never noticed it as a problem

...the challenge is figuring out how to counter stuns. The fact you haven't managed such a trivial task tells me it's too challenging for you.

find a way to make it hard but not in a way that actually makes it harder

Using an action, to give you back an action...

No, use an action to give you back multiple actions and the ability to then counter play your using future actions.

I am also currently making a playthrough of BG1, and crowd control spells are so much more deadly in that game (especially with SCS installed). Enemy wizards will confuse you into fighting your own party, fear you into running away uncontrollably, slow you, hold you, etc. And for a lot of them, at low levels, your only defense is a save. Since there was no such thing as "concentration", the spells continue even if you kill the wizard that cast them.

BG3 is much less prone to death by crowd control than BG1 was. (By the time you get to BG2, you hopefully have access to some protections and also just have better save targets.)

Whole party got frightened by fear eh?

If your stunned character have been hasted then you give action to get 2 actions from him.
3 actions if he also has action surge still avaliable. Sounds like a fair trade

ROFL. victorvnv is so right with what they wrote. Nothing to add here.
