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

    I want to do it because it’s how a real TTRPG would play out. Your DM isn’t going to let you reload when combat goes poorly. It’s more about pride than it is honor.

    That being said, I started my run with that mentality and I changed my tune quickly. I try to not abuse it as much, but I feel like I’m missing out on fun side quests or something if I fail to pick a lock or screw up a conversation.

    Absolutely no judgement on people that save scum. No leaderboards. No MMR. You have your own fun.

      Well it’s different in tabletop because a DM can alter the story to work in those cool bits somewhere else instead of locking you out of options like a video game will do
