Do you think it would be good to remove die rolls?

[Lunduke is the Trump of tech]

Larian have said they are able to make adaptions and deviatins to/from the the dnd ruleset.

I suggest removing die rolls.

It's just stupid to have so much of the game based just on luck. For example when you need to pass checks to persuade someone, it should be a fixed check not a roll, because it's like you just lose out on so much, you could have speialized in persuasion and still lose the roll because of bad luck. Btw I'm not super familar with dnd 5e ruleset, and lately i've been playing pathfinder kingmaker.

Why are DnD players so obsessed with dies and gambling?

D&D is a turn-based, tabletop game that relies on dice to play. If you don’t want to play a D&D game then no one is forcing you to play.

^ Calm down. LOL
Let's just answer OP in friendly manner.

Bringing successful version of D&D to video game is main challenge our beloved Larian has. Dice is most important part of D&D system hence it can not be removed.

I think they tried a lot to improve rate of success either by giving more chances or additional bonuses. Like inspiration points, advantage on dice roll with enhance ability spell, improved UI for more understanding. So many improvements, but sometimes people still fail, due to bad luck.

I think they need to add some class specific dialogues which guarantee success in the end as a last chance. Well, that is just...Hahaha
Suppose there is a fighter with low charisma, he or she can use strength based dialogue after failing first dialogue for twice.

that did not come off as hostile at all, he was simply saying that the whole point on making a game on DnD... is kind of to keep the DnD lol so if that isn't your thing best not to play.

and i will suggest the same.

If you don't like chance you can always just cheat to get 100% on dice rolls.

[Coldhands]

Yes, I’d much rather have thresholds than die rolls for skill checks in BG3.
When everything before and after a skill check is a predetermined option, adding RNG doesn’t actually make it feel like D&D.

I feel very offended when I read this.
And why are you so much opposed to removing gambling aspect? It is bad to be a gambler, they say it on advertising for casinos all the time that if you have gambling problem you should call this number.

Explaining things to people who are finding something difficult to understand is more important, that is what I believe. It is best option rather than asking them to quit playing game entirely. People who write replies can choose to be more friendly but not many can see it as an option.

Baldur's Gate 3 so far has managed to be a game for everybody, that is including gamers who are not familiar with D&D system but additional tool tip might still be helpful. The game is in early access so we can only hope more improvements are coming.

And yet gambling is very popular. Why? Because it's exciting.

No it's popular because most people live in poverty and it's an easy way to get out of it if you are lucky.

In gaming people prefer games to be about skill, not luck. The best player should win, not the luckiest.

[mayrc]

since it is allready more Divinity that DnD gameplay i would say the game can only profit from removing dice at all.

If you're skilled you create your own luck.

Imagine if you have like specialized in charisma and all kinds of stuff that give you higher persuasion/charisma checks, but you can still go through entire game and fail 90% of all the checks because of bad luck.

Ha, do you really think only poor people gamble? Or that any significant percentage of people below the poverty line even gamble on more than just the lotto?

But at any rate, RNG games are not for everyone. If you can't handle RNG, you shouldn't play RNG games. Also, there is very little "skill" in assigning skills. Don't pretend it's a real gamer thing.

Passing a check is never required. Rolling with the punches and making your own luck they should always be treated as extra's and sometime's there is gameplay that achieves the same result. That is in my opinion the fun. I continue with my fails and find other ways to achieve my goals.

But fun is subjective of course.

I hope so. In Pathfinder Kingmaker they had traps which kills you if you fail the check, so it means it is required to pass those checks or else it's game over if you use main character to disarm traps. I guess you can cheese the game by not using your main character but I don't like using cheese, it's borderline cheating imho.
