Is karmic dice worth it?

[Bastila Shan]

I mean is it better to have it off? Is my luck really that bad?

[Deadpaanda]

have it off. they are cursed. they are the dice that you put in the time out box and never look at again

[fulf]

turn it off

[Zeption™]

disable it, i did that in EA plan to do it when the game is out too

[Conker]

It affects both you and your foes, which ultimately makes it bad. If you have high AC and an enemy would miss you nigh-indefinitely, karmic dice will ensure that they hit from time to time. No bueno.

I tried it off for a couple runs and then tried it on and much prefer with it on. Reduced the number of miss streaks of my party and the number of hit streaks the enemy did. Try it on and off. See which you prefer.

They make it so rolls succeed more often. But it also works for monsters. So, if you have a high AC character it can be detrimental, but if you are going AGAINST a high AC character it can help you.

Personally, I hate dice cheating in any form even if it 'helps' me.

I did not have that experience at all. I read that early on, the Karmic dice was bugged and did not work correctly. But in a hot fix, they corrected it.

Yeah and I feel like the last few runs I did in EA, having Karmic dice on seemed to do what a part of that article states...

...."In the upcoming Baldur’s Gate 3 release, the Karmic Dice feature will ensure that players and NPCs have a fair chance of landing critical hits and successful attacks. The feature will prevent back-to-back high successes or failures with rolls, creating a more balanced gameplay experience."

I have more fun in a game when I feel like it is a balanced combat experience.

[PwnyHipster]

Just turn it off. imo having the dice skewed in your favor is incredibly unfun and ruins the inherent fun aspect of dice.

[Bastila Shan]

So does this actually make it easier, harder or just more balanced? Assuming they fix it if its still bugged

[Popsicles]

They are lame. Turn them off.

[Joren]

Leaving mine off, let the die fall where they may.
