So... to roll the expected average of 10000 rolls you'd need to reasonably expect a roll of three 18s, you'd need to spend a little over 11 hours doing it, with no breaks, no stops, no slowdowns and no rest. If someone wants to do that for a benefit that will be neutralised by eighth level, I can't really see any complaint there. It's silly, and self-destructive, but it's also their call.
Well, i would say "up to" ... since it really can be any of those 10.000 rolls, right?
But that is my point, there will be such people and Larian must expect them too.
It'd probably be more time-efficient to install a mod that allows you to choose stats at that point though...
Once again ... exactly my point.
Its only matter of amount of frustration you involve in your system ...
I dont have data, Larian do ... but since there are quite hard double-check (or even triple-check) rolls in game ... as it was in case of book Necromancy of They ... Larian should see how often people reloaded just to get past all check ... and THAT are people who will spend half hour, hour, maybe even longer re-rolling their stats to get "as optimal result as possible".
So the only question in my opinion here is:
Do Larian aim to please hardcore players, who accepts any outcome even if that was not exactly what they expected ... or will they also take under concideration people who play a little dirty, and allow us infinite stats-buy? :P
//Edit:
I have found another dice roller, to speed up whole proces:
https://rgbstudios.org/dnd-dice/char?r=I just tryed to "roll" 50 characters ... it took me around 5 minutes.
And maybe im just child of luck ... but i had there maybe two, or three bad rolls ... and around 12 really great (and yes, there was even one that had two 18 and no score was under 12
)
