[Mod Request] A Win every time dice. Reasons in comments. Don't hate please.

Ok, so it is going to be a little read, but it gives people something to digest and think about, so here goes...



Creating a mod for Baldur's Gate 3 that allows players to always win dice rolls and have a more deterministic outcome like in the Dragon Age series could indeed have some benefits, particularly for players who are more accustomed to the gameplay mechanics of the Dragon Age games. Here are some reasons why such a mod might be considered a good idea from my point of view... first one being:

1. Accessibility for New Players: As you mentioned, the dice roll mechanics in Baldur's Gate 3 are closely tied to Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) gameplay, which might be unfamiliar to players coming from the Dragon Age series (I myself am from the dragon age series and BG3 is my first CRPG, though I'm use to the gameplay now and enjoy itm there are a lot who struggle and leave). Implementing a mod that eliminates or reduces the impact of dice rolls could help new players feel more comfortable and less frustrated with the mechanics, potentially increasing their enjoyment of the game.

2. Wider Audience Appeal: By introducing an option that aligns more closely with the gameplay style of the Dragon Age series, the mod could attract players who might have otherwise been put off by the dice roll mechanics. This could expand the game's audience and bring in players who prefer narrative-driven experiences over the chance-based aspects of traditional D&D gameplay.

3. Reduced Frustration: Some players might find the randomness of dice rolls frustrating, especially if they are used to having more control over outcomes in other RPGs. Allowing them to have a higher chance of success could reduce frustration and encourage them to engage more deeply with the game's story and world.

4. Emphasis on Storytelling: The Dragon Age series places a strong emphasis on storytelling and player choice. By reducing the impact of dice rolls, the mod could encourage players to focus more on the narrative and their role within the game world, rather than being overly concerned with the chance-based mechanics.

5. Modding Community Engagement: Introducing a mod like this could help foster a sense of community within the modding scene for Baldur's Gate 3. Players who prefer the Dragon Age-style gameplay might be more inclined to create and share mods that align with their preferences, thus contributing to the game's overall longevity and appeal.


In conclusion, while creating a mod that allows players to always win dice rolls in Baldur's Gate 3 could potentially attract a wider audience and address the concerns of players accustomed to Dragon Age-style mechanics, it's important to carefully consider the implications and challenges associated with such a modification. Striking a balance between accessibility and the game's original design intent will be key to ensuring a positive impact on player experience and the modding community.



Just to also clarify, there doesn't need to be any disrespectful comments in response to this or one liners like "Play something else", they are not constructive feedback, helpful and will be overlooked as they aren't needed or necessary. :)

I wish this was an option implemented with the "Story Mode".

 

Sometimes you just want to choose a option and not save scum three dozen times to get the story outcome you wanted.

 

I'd argue that even long time players of D&D tabletop would concede that DMs often pass a bad roll to achieve the best possible story telling for players.

 

 

 

(I also would love to not get "play something else" responses to my opinion, as it is just that; my opinion.)
