Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback FEEDBACK - Mind Flayer almost TPK - 1 Plyr Lived

Well, to be honest, it is an example where if you fail the roll, you must reload. You cannot "roll with it", that is accept the failure that alters the story a bit : you get clobbered by the Mind Flayer.

Larian said they want failure to be fun and not require reloading.

I got screwed once. Now I just kill it on sight before any dialogue.

Suggestion : it could get up with 1 to 10 HP maximum, giving the level 1 "party" (often main plus Shadowheart and pets) a chance to defeat the thing... possibly. Or, better, some RP situation where the Mind Flayer recognizes you as a potential Absolute and let's you go. It probably already controls you (failed Wisdom Save) if it gets up anyhow.
