Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Save scumming during pickpocketing. Can you deter this?

I still don't understand how something can be game breaking if it only happens when a player (ab-)uses it and it affects only his/her game.


Save scumming for pick pocketing and skill checks are controllable by the player - no additional feature needed. Contrary to barrelmancy/unbalanced combat mechanics AI can't affect it and the game isn't balanced around it. Even in multiplayer you have the power to force your players to stick to agreed upon rules. Blocking people that you will never meet from doing something that can't affect you sounds - unnecessary? The very same people that would abuse it to this degree that it breaks the game are the very same people that would use cheats or mods to make the game easier for them - do we need now a solution for mods to not make a game easier? Does this somehow elevate your skills as a player? Make your own achievements meaningful knowing its harder for other to cheat?


I'm sorry, but to me - as long as you have a minimal amount of self disciplin - this isn't an issue that should waste Larian's resrouces.
