Don’t make the dice cheat and i won’t save scum. The biggest issue i have in BG3 is the dice aren’t actually random. 1500 hours in with karmic dice off and you definitely notice the way you will never ever win a roll first time if you don’t have proficiency in that skill. The dice should be actually random. Sometimes you do win an intimidation check with 8 CHA. Sometimes you do lose a STR check when you have 22 STR. But you don’t lose every single roll every single time and have to burn through inspiration points unless the game is cheating.
I’ve got 1500 hours in this game. They aren’t random. There is some weighting going on depending on your proficiency bonus that the game applies to rolls. If you’ve got no proficiency the roll will almost always fail the first time even on a DC of 10. A good place to see this is the roll for freeing Us. Anyone with decent strength, dex, or int will roll well. If you don’t have +2 in either of those you’ll almost always fail that roll.

Kind of funny since I literally just replied to another commenter who was complaining that the rolls were too random
