Baldur's Gate 3's huge launch has reignited the age-old debate about save scumming.

In a game that takes dozens of hours to get through? Of course I'm save scumming to get the result I want. If I don't care about some consequence maybe I'll let a failure slide but for the big stuff, I'm not starting again and doubling my playtime, I'm usually burnt out on the title by the end of the first run.

This is definitely it for me too. On games like this I'll happily savescum because I want to see the ending I desire. If I love the game enough I may replay it, and in that case I'll just roll with whatever happens as I explore new paths.
