It's... it's based on DnD, a game reliant on dice rolls. The core of it is the RNG that changes the probability of every encounter. I'll never understand people who keep saying the thing they hate about BG3 is always a core DnD mechanic when Larian has only every been upfront about this being them using 5e as their base to build the game around. This is the closest to a single player TTRPG simulator that we've ever had. What kind of game were you expecting?

I'm very aware of all of that. I still don't like the heavy RNG lol. I want to save scum less, that's what I'm expecting. Even if it's 5e combat. I'm just not a fan of DnD combat, but I still love everything else about bg3.
