The patch fixed a slew of issues, introduced combat balancing adjustments, and added a Withers epilogue. Two new gameplay modes also entered the mix \u2013 Custom Mode and Honour Mode. The former lets players start a new game and tinker with numerous difficulty and gameplay customization options. Honour Mode, on the other hand, considerably increases the RPG\u2019s difficulty and eliminates the ability to save scum. It\u2019s meant to truly test a player and their party\u2019s mettle; however, some think the dice rolls feel particularly unfair. BG3 players call dice rolls \u201crigged\u201d in new Honour Mode A Reddit user recently shared a screenshot of a Baldur\u2019s Gate 3-like die with the number 1 covering every corner. \u201cWelcome to honour mode,\u201d reads the post\u2019s caption, poking fun at how often players seem to be rolling low numbers. The original poster doesn\u2019t seem to be the only one thinking this way. Well over 3,000 Redditors have upvoted the post, and numerous comments suggest others are similarly rolling low on a regular basis. \u201cSwear to the Gods, we\u2019re playing with 3-sided die because I\u2019ll miss every attack back-to-back and then get a crit out of nowhere. Soooo many critical misses,\u201d one user wrote. In response to questions about Karmic Dice, the user said it was already switched off in their settings. Other people chimed in to say they believe the dice rolls in BG3\u2019s Honour Mode are \u201ccompletely rigged.\u201d One player posited it may have to do with the removal of save scumming. \u201cThey definitely feel rigged to me, but I think part of that is that there\u2019s no save scumming so there\u2019s a lot more tension. So my confirmation bias is probably going into overdrive.\u201d Whatever the case, it\u2019s clear players are frustrated that the chances seem stacked against them more often than not. Whether or not Larian plans on adjusting the odds for Honour Mode is anyone\u2019s guess.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 players convinced dice rolls are \u201crigged\u201d in Honour Mode Larian StudiosBG3 players have had such bad luck in the all-new Honour Mode that many believe the dice rolls are \u201crigged.\u201d Larian Studios deployed a beefy update in the form of Baldur\u2019s Gate 3 Patch 5 on November 30.
