And he has additional spell slot to boot... which main will never get.

Edwin is so highly rated because it's not like BG2 is that difficult, so you don't need more from a mage than spam whatever spell is the most powerful on that level.
But once you take SCS/Ascension into account, the additional spell slots aren't worth as much as special abilities, imo. Jan (and mage/thief PCs) get detect illusion, for which there is no counter. And SCS mages love to get invisible at every occasion. Berserker mages get rage immunities, which gives them an edge in fights like the improved Kangaxx.
(Though of you really just want arcane firepower, make a PC sorcerer. Eddie can't beat that, modded game or not.)

Sure... but why is this a problem? Do you insist on your MC being the strongest?

Well, actually he can, because liche and demi-liche are immune to spell up to the fifth circle.

What I meant when I said he's only superior if you count Conjurer as the best specialization is that the PC mage can be of any specialization, getting the spells which Edwin doesn't get. Conjurer is a pretty good specialization, though. Sorcerers don't count, that's non-BG1 content.

No, he can't, because the melf meteors spell generates missiles with high enough enchantment to hurt him. At least in unmodded game, SCS reduces their enchantment.

Conjurers lose divination *and* invocation in P&P too, so they are buffed in the BGs in comparison.

Today it marks one exact month since early access released.
Wonder if they'll take it as an excuse to release a new Larian update and release that "patch3£ they've been updating on SteamDB for the last few days.

I actually like when my companions aren't sad, useless sacks of shit, but have something that makes them unique and useful for the party.

They have plenty of gameplay issue to address. I don't know what the new patch will be about. There is plenty of legit criticism in their forum. We have to wait and see.

Another thing that makes rogues (or really anything stealthy) overpowered: vertical movement apparently doesn't count as movement, because it doesn't use movement points.

Untrue. It does. It just uses a small fixed amount of movement points regardless of the "height" of the ladder.Another thing that makes rogues (or really anything stealthy) overpowered: vertical movement apparently doesn't count as movement, because it doesn't use movement points.

So "real" RPGs should have low production values, an unintuitive interface, and a hard to use control scheme?

Well, there were several ways to interpret what I wrote, but if you're happy embracing what's arguably the most dense, stupid and passive-aggressive one among the possible options, who am I to stop you?

I crossed this video on datamined content (mostly on races and tags):
Aside for the fact that there's some surprising inclusion there, I have to say that even with all the minor complains I have about the game currently, it's still impressive what Larian is doing in other areas.
The amount of reactivity tied to the player's identity is really something else.
