So your saying Karmic dice is manipulated under the hood to avoid bad roll streaks?

Yep, the ingame description is "Karmic dice avoid failure streaks, while keeping the results mostly random." This supposedly also applies to enemy failure streaks. I haven't played long enough with it on to confirm that's the case, I just turned it off after a couple of days and haven't had any problems. People on reddit complained about fights being too long because they miss so often now, but I never felt that way in any fight with it off.

The only time where I had a really long streak of failures was the lockpicking scenario I used lol. I went through 20+ lock picks trying to open a lock, but to me it felt fair. I didn't really have any classes who specialized in it. You best believe I got the knock spell at the next level up that gave me another spell.

If you truly love story driven characters….and enjoy turn based combat this is the pinnacle of that.

To me the game is so massive in scope in terms of no play through will be the same. The sheer amount of freedom In the story telling and party building you can do is unlike any game I have played before.

Dragon Age Origins and Inquisition to me were the best RPG’s in terms of that kinda scope.

Divinity Sin 2 is a game that is universally loved as well in this genre.

This game simply takes the entire genre to new heights. This blows away Skyrim…..Skyrim feels like a elementary school game compared to Baldurs Gate 3.

I am so addicted……and I see myself pouring in easily and this is no exaggeration…..500-700 hours into this game over the next few years.


It’s that magical.

Thanks Armor. Imagine if Madden approached even half of this polish. [emoji16]

Thought about this game and Starfield at work all day. Found myself watching more YouTube vids to help me get going. Restarted and here’s to hoping I’ve learned something.

Don't forget you can respec your characters if you want. It only costs 100 gold and to find a certain skeleton in act 1.
