Possibly another good reason is that if you were playing this live, with a real DM, he/she could analyze your party and make the needed adjustments to the game to always give the bad guys a little advantage. If it was as easy to go through as though a child could play it, then it would lose its meaning to play. What is the use, right?
So, since the programmers could not send along a live DM with the copy of BG, they had to set some pre-requisits, so that you was not so insanely strong that the value of the game and its adventure be lost.It is more fun when you actually have to think and act/react to a situation, just to stay alive. That is why we play.
