Additioinally, you are going to find many players who experience -- in some way or another -- just the same as you (this includes my own experience too). This is a game meanwhile played by hundreds of thousands, despite the Early Access. So if you're looking for a confirmation, you'll find it. I'm almost tempted to do some actual testing now, armed with pen and paper (heh) but as said, I can't see anything obvious "off". I think this is a really fascinating topic though, in particular because of human psychology at play. Without it, casinos and gambling outlets would be lost too (gambler's fallacy, etc.)

I've seen players claiming that the dice were actually rigged right on these boards, insofar as that the opposition would barely ever miss, which obviously also isn't happening, certainly not over the mid to longer term. Over a sequence or two, much goes (and will if this is truly random). Additionally, actually rigged dice against the player would be majorly stupid from a developing standpoint, as it would undermine all player trust -- there's much easier and "Fair" ways to make the game hard. Such as always putting the player at a numeral and positioning disadvantage, giving creatures abilities they don't have in the pen&paper, etc. (which BG3 sometimes does too).

If you'd roll the dice long enough, you're guaranteed curious sequences. smile
