I presume they were going to buy a BALDUR'S GATE game. You know, the third entry in a series. The previous games did not have an obnoxious dice rolling animation.

the previous games didn't even manage to put proper turns in their ruleset based entirely around turns.

they aren't a good metric to use to judge gameplay mechanics.

Three years ago the consensus was keep the dice because we, the fans, loved it. So too ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bad. lol.

Are you aware of the concept of "having options"?

DND style games arent for you if a simple animation (that literally doesnt appear all the time) bothers you

I just press (Y) then (A) (or actually ∆ then X, but the game thinks it's Y and A) and it skips.

If you're thinking that the whole popup needs to stop altogether, the issue is that it gives the player the opportunity to add bonuses for the check with that interface.

You can skip the roll animation itself but cannot skip choosing the options for the roll.

I really didn't feel like I should have to go in-depth explaining how having an option to disable a feature that clearly lots of people find inconvenient was necessary.

Yeah, with reviews in their high 90s and hundred of thousands of concurrent players I think you might be somewhat overstating popularity of your own position.

Then again, it is easy to spot a dishonesty in your original statement for anyone with IQ above room temperature so...

Mods = options.

EA players begged for the option to remove the dice. This isn't going to happen, and it's been explained ad nausea. The dev team made it a design choice to reflect the TT experience more closely.

For the record, it doesn't bug me if there's an option or not. You can knock yourself out with options -- I'm merely reiterating what was already covered ground in EA. Again, too bad -- they won't change it.

You realize that no one (or OP, in this case) wants to remove the dice, yes?

can't believe there's people out there who can't experiment a bit and figure out how games work

Uhm, speeding up or skipping animations is actually an option in many turn-based strategy games. And it makes a lot of sense. I don't agree with the way the OP brought this up, but I wouldn't be against an option to at least speed up the dice animation, and maybe also walking animations in combat.

It is annoying to sit through for every single roll of the dice. OP is being.. well, they have some anger issues.

But the option to disable the animation and instead just get a text output would be nice. Doubly so if it would show more information about all of the game's rolls

Just do what all CRPGs have done for decades.

* You a 1d20 + bonus + bonus = 13
or
* You rolled a 1d20 - blah + blah - blah = 5

boom done.

But they probably won't add the option. It's annoying, but it's not something I'd pass the game up over. That's just me though. Everyone has their straws, I suppose.

Edit: and yes you can click to skip it. Obviously. The option to disable the animation would skip the screen entirely while maintaining the RNG of the dice roll.
