Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Failed passive checks should not be shown, and shouldn't be rolls in the first place.

I agree with Red Queen on this one.
In PnP you'd have an active way to ask the DM for an "info-acquiring" skill check and he will tell you to roll. You know what the equivalent would be in BG3? Clicking your shovel every 2 steps to make sure you didn't just walk past some hidden treasure.
I would rather have it work passively and provide reassurance even on a fail rather than have to walk on every single cell of a grid because I don't know if I failed the check or just haven't triggered it yet.
