Baldur’s Gate 3’s huge launch has reignited the age-old debate about save scumming.

    I think this is the challenge for some who don’t want to reload a save. But random dice --with 1 always failing and 20 always hitting are just that random. No play skill involved.

      I agree. But hey, people do permadeath no-reload challenges of XCOM, too. Some folks are crazy.

      I just don’t think reloading a save after losing a fight counts as savescumming. That functionality is such a core part of games that we had to invent an entire genre to design around not doing that (Roguelikes).
