So basically the characters from Baldur’s Gate 3. We’ve got an archmage, a local hero, and a barbarian that has spent the last decade fighting in the Blood War, and all of them join at level 1. Though at least Gale and Karlach have decent excuses for the power drop.

Yeah I noticed that too. In an early conversation with Wyll he talks about how he slew a minotaur, which seems improbable for a level 1 or 2 character.

Now maybe he's lying. I haven't gotten far enough into the game to find out of he's actually a complete fraud or not. But as of right now it causes a bit of narrative dissonance.
