I hate the dice roll in conversations.

[Jinngo]

Just wanted to voice my opinion on the dice roll in conversations, i think they don't add anything other than frustration and a lot of going back to a previous save.

I hope they remove them and just make it so that if you have skills in intimidation or deception they just work or something along those lines.

And if someone feels this makes the game less like DnD game or a Baldur's gate game, i don't remember it being in any of the other Baldur's gate games.

Other than that the game is fun and enjoyable, and i will continue to support larian, and i wish them the best.

So if you want to convince some random guy on the street you and say the stuff you want to speak without any consequences?

[apocryphalbob]

No. That's not how it works.
No Mary Sue's in DnD.

Dice is the life of D&D

I love them. Makes dialogue checks more fun. Don't save scum. Lots of good stuff comes from failure.

The dice are there because that's how D&D works. You have a skill proficiency rating and then you roll the dice. Interesting things happen whether you roll high or roll low. Of course if you're going to save scum every conversation until you roll high then the dice become a needless frustration. Likewise planning and tactics in battle. WHo needs them if you just save scum until every attack you make is a critical and every attack they make is a miss.

[Instigator]

Please, no.

I think if they went without dice skill checks and just made proficiencies automatically successes than anything you aren't proficient with would be automatic failures. They would also have to significantly dial back the number of skill checks and their effects since you can avoid almost all the early game fights with checks.

Well i didn't expect that so many were in favor of the dice roll, but if that is the case i'm happy that people enjoy it and maybe i'll just have to play the game differently and by time i'll learn to like it.

Oh yeah? That's why every other person in this topic say otherwise... Go play another game, let us have some fun will you?

You don't get the point, what people complain about is the dice roll and turn-based combat which is in dnd in e5.

Guess it is a matter of personal taste. I really like the system.
In D&D games conversations often have rolls for persuasion, perception ect...
Also, I like it because it changes the way the players story plays out. Allows for a different experience on multiple play throughs.

I applaud your open minded attitude to other opinions that challenge your own!

question about the dicerolls , is there a way to know what your required roll is before choosing an dialogue option? if you have several options i always choose the one with the most bonus , but it still sometimes like 18 ?If I would have known that I would have not even attempted it.
