the dialog systems in rpgs like baldurs gate 3 are completely retarded. it's already retarded in the orignal pen and paper game. so you say a thing, then you roll the dice, and either you 'persuaded' someone or not. you didn't? well, just quickload and try again. it takes agency away from the player in the worst way, so of course it encourages savescumming.

@lain isn't there an ironman mode or something like that to avoid the temptation?

@Arwalk sure, but it's not the savescumming that's the issue (for me), it's the random outcome of in something that's not player skill based. it's just a spreadsheet rolling a die.
