In Baldur’s Gate 3, before starting the game, you should remove the flag from one option

In addition to universal delight that soon Baldur’s Gate 3 will come out of early access, players are also divided by tips, including recommend that you look into the game settings and disable one potentially unpleasant default option.

We are talking about the so -called karmic cubes, which were added in the early 2021 and then called Loaded Dice, or "Balanced cubes". This system was supposed to allow the randomness characteristic of paper role -playing games, which served as the main source of inspiration for BG3 and classic role -playing games in general.

At first, kubiks simply equalized the player’s throws. If we took off low numbers too often, the game increased our chances of good throws, and vice versa.
However, after the players’ complaints, the developers quickly changed this scheme: now karmic cubes always provide the best throws.

At first glance, this is a useful function that only the most ardent adherents of accidents can complain about. There is only one small problem: a karmic cube also supports enemies, and to a large extent.

Reddit Havelok user has been reminding us of this for two weeks "insignificant" complication, quoting the message of the other user, akdavidxy. This user conducted a small experiment with a function. The reason for him was "solo" Adventure in BG 3, T.e. Trying to go through a game with one character with an emphasis on a defensive game.

The user admits that his test sample was modest (about 150 shots). Nevertheless, this turned out to be enough to clearly see the negative impact of the kubic cube on collisions with opponents. Even with a fairly high importance to the game of armor (23), enemies fell into his character in 30-40% of the shots.
Moreover, this was expressed in a three -fold increase in the chance of a critical hit of enemies: 15% instead of 5%. At the same time, AKDAVIDXY noted that the effect increases with an increase in armor value. In other words, the higher the class of armor, the more the game favors the enemies.
It goes without saying that this complicates the game in the role "tank", when enemies too often beat your character, and even cause critical damage. Havelok and Akdavidxy are not the only players who have been a curse of a balanced cube.

Therefore, before starting the game, it is better to turn off the karmic cube. We also hope that Larian is better to balance the option before the release.
