My first run through Kingmaker was a terrible mess. Dealing with all the fey is a lot more manageable when you get to stuff all their fucking "you looked at me, roll a save" bullshit.
Most of them aren't gaze attacks though, like the beguiling aura of a Nereid is actually a mind-affecting/compulsion even though it's vision based. Kingmaker is like someone sorted through the monster manuals and compiled a list of all of the absolute worst things to fight against and then themed the entire fucking campaign on stuff from that list. Fey, Plants, and Insects. If I never see another mandragora swarm ever again it will be too soon.

All the Wild Hunt you have to chop through in the last two acts is though with some medusa thrown in. The stuff it doesn't block you only run in to a little and it's all in the middle-ish of the game.
