I'm playing Baldur's Gate 2 Throne of Bhaal now, and dear fucking god do they throw the magic items at you.
"Oh, literally every single person you fight has magic weapons, unless they don't. That guy over there, the generic asshole guard? +1 Longsword, +2 Chainmail, +1 Large Shield. Those orcs over there? +1 Battleaxes, all of 'em. The mage? ... He's a gorram mage, do the math."
That said, when I DO encounter people with non-enchanted weapons, it's really nice because my main character is immune to +1 weapons and below, and with a 95% magic resistance and a sword that can cast dispel three times a day AND dispels on hit AND saves of a fucking demigod paladin, there ain't a mage in the game that scares him. Save or die? Save. Save. Save. Save. Save. Save. Save. Failed save? Magic resistance. Also, he has a -9 AC, which is pretty good.
At level 19, I'm either going to Dual Class him to Cleric (But then I lose my Holy Avenger sword. D:) or dual class him to some sort of Fighter Kit, or Barbarian. Or maybe Ranger kit/something. Haven't figured it out.
Oh Christ yes. I remember that game and it's expansion having crazy amounts of magic weapons and armour.
I mean in BG1, magic items were fairly rare. When you found your first +1 weapon it was a pretty big deal, and even at the end game there was always ways in which your equipment could be improved.
In BG2 however, I'm pretty sure I had +1 weapons within a couple of hours of playing. By the end of the game I had several sets of top tier weapons and armour that I didn't know what to do with.
Then after they spend the game feeding you all these magical weapons they throw the magic golem at you, which is immune to everything except mundane weapons... It's not all that dangerous either, you just can't use anything except ordinary weapons against it.
I remember the first time I ran into one, I had a small arsenal of magical weapons in my party's inventory, including various +8 against <enemy type> weapons. But I wound up having to make my way out of the dungeons and traipse back to town to pick up something that could actually damage it.
It felt like someone had put a boss into the game that could only be defeated with wooden chopsticks, in a land where almost everyone eats using silver knives and forks.
