        I don't care enough to play BG3, but why couldn't the penalty be a permanent INT drop? That way you only really lose the money to pay for a Restoration spell.

            a percetile roll is much laxer than a d20 roll, because you get fricked over 1/20 instead of 1/100.
            Skills and such should never be critted(because that allows for stupid bullshit hapening, like an history buff char literaly forgetting the most basic shit, or jumping to the moon)
            Modern systems works on dopamine rushes instead, so we can't have a working system like THAC0 or skills that make some ammount of sense in their scale of use. It's REALLY important for zoomer to feel the power of a natural 20 or 1, even when it's stupid and you shouldn't even have to roll your dice(because you aren't stressed and can take 10 most of the times)

    The game literally told you not to approach it, you walked into a trap and had to save or die. That's not bad game design. You can play the game hardcore/ironman if you want, there's very little that will cheapshot you.

      It's also save or die for 1 party member, not TPK. And like

      If you're playing ironman then you roll a new character. Also death isn't permanent, you get raise dead later and even early game as soon as you do the crypt you get a camp NPC that will res dead characters for a modest fee. You have to royally frick up to full party wipe.

      said the game gives you cheap and conevnient ways to revive dead characters. The game is built with Ironmans in mind.

      Better question is why was it ever RTwP in the first place? Because actual D&D, of which this a licensed game, uses turns in combat.

      I think for an RNG based system having a full Game Over screen constantly showing up just because you failed a roll might get irritating. A fail state that simply sets you back or states briefly that you failed would let you continue again without reloading.
      Though I haven't played the game so no idea how intrusive the interface for the menu and such is.

      Having an RNG coinflip that results in a game over where the only option is to reload and try until you succeed is boring. Dialogue checks should have consequences for failure, but there's more interesting ways to do it.

      There's not a binary between "always succeed" and "game over failure". Look at Mount and Blade, where your character never dies -there's no game over if you're taken down in a fight. You'll lose goods, your party can be wiped, you lose gear and money and the clothes on your back, but you'll be alive. Those are lasting consequences for failure, not just "game over try again".

    Just throwing this out, but if all of your party members are technically MCs in their own right, maybe the game narrative shouldn't be strictly tied to one character. Let the leader just be another character that you may or may not lose along the way, and only Game Over in the case of a total party wipe.

      17 is good because you can take a perk at level 4 that'll give you an interesting passive and a dex point to get to 18. Or if you do 16 you can just get 2 points at 4 and no perk.

        nta but I want to do to this, don't agonize over singular +1s, it won't make that big of a difference. Yes, higher number is better, but remember you're still going to roll a 1-20, which can vastly outweigh the actual stats you have. If you have +4 to something, and the goal of a roll is 15, 11 of that result is coming from the roll. 11 is 73% of 15, so 73% of the result is your dice and not your stats in that case.

        Basically, it's ok to not minmax, have fun with the character.

    Your mistake is you see the roll as your chance to live. Your chance to live was earlier, but you got yourself into a shit situation. The roll is a lifeline to pull you out of your mistake.
    It's like seeing a raging river and making the dunbass decision to try to cross it, and once you fall in like a tard you get a roll to grab a rope and get out before you drown. The skill challenge there isn't the rope, it's deciding not to cross.

    haha ok, this is fake right? A nerf to the player to make the game seem "harder" right?
    most of the enemies have between 13-16 ac
    in real life with my stats I'd roll an average of 17 to hit on my attacks. In fact I'd have at least a 60% chance on average to hit most enemies. So...what exactly is larians "math"

      Range, elevation, and lighting also modify your rolls.

        >range
        spells don't work like that, not even in bg3 you are either in range or not
        >light
        I have the light cantrip constantly on
        >elevation
        elevation only grants advantage or disadvantage and it will say so on the rolls, curiously though my to hit on average is simply lower than it should be

      I agree that the chance breakdown should be included, but there are many ways to boost your accuracy.

      and also small things are harder to hit, too.

      I'm 99% sure it is fake and has to do with your difficulty. I noticed this too because if you swap to easy mode your accuracy is closer to tabletop

    Yes this is called role playing. If you "lose" but it was an interesting way to do so, have you really lost?

    I bet you never let your rimworld people die either. Stories can't just be up and to the right all the time, it's boring.
