It is a game. It is just pixels on the screens
Are you trying to tell me that none of it is real?
The world isnt under brain invading alien invasion?
Yeah right, as if i would fall to such fallacy...
Next time you will telling me that im not actually a Gnome throwing fireballs. xD
Seriously tho ...
Maybe this *shocking reveal* should be told to OP aswell?
If a design leads to undesired player behaviour, than that design is faulty, not the player.
I believe we both know by now, that i will never agree with this ...
Maybe if a design leads to undesired player behaviour for vast majority of players ... for wich we dont have data to know, luckily Larian do ...
But as long as you use singular, it IS players fault.
A suggestion to hide game feedback is interesting, but I question if it would actually solve anything - so far success.failure states in BG3 have been very binary and would be obvious even without additional feedback.
My point exactly ...

However, I'm not the first person to find the unskipable dice animation annoying. A lot of people would surely like this feature just to skip it!
As far as i know, you can skip it ... by clicking your mouse.
If you were not able to, it sounds like a bug to me.

Then you are motivated to accept whatever result you get if playing blind, as you do not know when rolling if winning or losing is what you want.
No, you are not ...
Savescummers gonna savescuming, it really is that easy.
Doesnt really matter what are you calling good, or bad, or sucess, or failure ... those numbers we see only help people call it proper name, but they are not the vilains in this story, they are victims.
The "problem", for lack of better therm, is that person who dislike whatever (
and it doesnt really matter what, as avahZ Darkwood showed us) is happening in his game, have option to re-load and get different outcome.
And if you allready feel this urge ... you will feel it no matter if you fail with 1, or fail with 13 on difficiulty 14, or fail without knowing what number you throwed or/and what number you needed, or actually suceed but still didnt like the outcome ... you dont like what *IS* happening > you reload.
There is no way to stop this behaviour, except:
- Removing option to reload entirely. (
as it was done in Vampyr ... personaly, i hated it)
- Or encouraging players with interesting situations in both cases, wich is exactly what Larian do. But that will never work on everyone.
- Or make saves so far from each other, so replaying it all would be too anoying for those players, so they rather accept the outome they dont like. (
as it was done in early versions of BG-3 EA ... there certainly was lot of hate for that)
- OR ... and that is the worse possible way ... make all outcomes effectively the same (differs with just a little flavor), so it dont really matter in the end what choice you pick, or what do you roll. (
as it was done in Dragon Age ... personaly, i hated it)
I really doubt there is any other way.
I say, embrace free will, let anyone to ruin their game just the way they want to ...
Its just like with cheats, no point in trying to develop some supereffective way for players to completely avoid them in single player game ... distribue them freely to players, dont hide them ... people will get their fun and quite soon find out that the game is a lot better without them. And thats when they grow.

I have had to save scum some situations to be able to roleplay a character correctly. For example, I wanted the Tiefling kid to die by Kagha’s snake for role playing reasons to steal the idol and give it to Mol without the “evil” intentions for my rogue.
Im sory, what? O_o
It seems you and i have different deffinition of "Roleplaying" pal, but still ... can you elaborate a little futher?
How exactly can "wanting girl to die, so i can steal idol and give it to Mol" have roleplaying reasons? O_o
