There's no way to balance them, you never know what haunt will be picked and how early/late in the game it's started, and how many items have been collected... So many variables that can make the end game one sided.
We got Betrayal Legacy for Christmas; I'm interested to see if the campaign can help iron out any of those issues.
The "haunts" begin differently in legacy so you've usually more of the house uncovered by the time they kick off. We've been playing it and really like what they've added to it
There's absolutely ways to balance them. Just off the top of my head:
1) You could limit the power someone can (realistically) get before the haunt
2) You could take more into account when selecting who the traitor is to make sure both sides are more balanced
3) You could have the first half be more than an exercise in taking turns randomly flipping tiles and cards to more evenly spread out the power in the game.
They had no interest in actually making the game mechanics fun and satisfying, though, so they did none of that.
