Inspiration Re-Rolls Broken

[Coast]

So i found something interesting. If I am attempting to unlock a door/gate/chest, i have found that if i reroll using inspiration points, i will continue to get the same number as i received on the first inspiration roll. For instance, the roll to meet/beat is 15 and i roll a 10. I can reroll using inspiration points, so i do that. this time i rolled a 12. That is no good, so i use a second inspiration point. Same as the first, 12. So I chalk this up to bad luck. Except when i use 3 additional inspiration rolls, all equaling 12. This is WITH or WITHOUT Karmic Dice option set. And no, i do not have any dice roll mods.

Never had this issue rerolling using inspiration... Using a physical dice, I often had several results in a row to be the same number. It happens

Yes, i understand the theory and typical implementation of an independent RNG system but what are the odds of, using this type of system, that you can get 4 identical rolls using inspiration points? The odd thing is, if i am using thief tools or disarm kits to unlock something, and I have the option to use a new tool other than inspiration, i can select to use another tool and the rolls are different. Only when using inspiration is this issue evident.

The odds of that are greater than zero...

Really?
This is true, but that "greater than zero" would be 1 in 160,000 or 0.0006%.

AND it happens multiple times. I will try to get a video of it. I have also done a complete reinstall with a new save... same results

you've reloaded the game and rolled a 10 and three 12s multiple times?

It's the same chance as every other specific result of four rolls.

Is this specifically for lockpicking? Cause I've tried 4 rerolls with inspiration on other stuff and this hasn't happened so far.

Agreed. I had to replay a section and the conversation that was right after my save point I ended up using more guidance on than the first time, rolled completely different rolls the 2nd time. And it was the first thing that happened out of my save so it wasn't like something rolled beforehand to change anything.

I was just wondering if there was some weird bug where it doesn't seed differently sometimes. I find it highly unlikely though. I don't think I've ever rolled the same values after loading a save. I don't save scum often though but the few times I've replayed things they've ended up playing out completely differently. Both combat and dialog ability checks.
