Ranged weapons in BG1 were way too effective as I see it. As soon as you got some of them magic/poisonous/whatever arrows, and a longbow or better, you rarely needed to go into close combat. Add a scout to spot s single enemy at a time, and you could take out pretty much anything with bow and arrows. Also, because the spell casting would fail if the caster was hit, facing mages was too easy. Of course, you can choose not to use ranged weapons, but still...

I agree. Second time I finished the game, I hardly had to break a sweat over it. The main character was a halfling fighter/thief weilding a short bow and an assortment of poisonous/explosive projectiles.
