When The Dice Gods Strike: Baldur’s Gate 3 Player’s Unlucky Adventure

Baldur’s Gate 3 player rolls four consecutive nat ones against astronomical odds “Guess it’s time to find a new game!”

In an extremely rare occurrence, a player in Baldur’s Gate 3 rolled four natural ones in a row, with odds of 1 in 160,000. They took it as a sign from the game to call it quits and move on.

In the fantastical realm of Baldur’s Gate 3, where adventure lurks around every corner, one unlucky player recently found themselves at the mercy of the notorious Dice Gods. Twitch streamer Luality shared a one-minute snippet of their misfortune on YouTube, and let me tell you, it’s a tale that will leave you rolling with laughter and disbelief.

It all began innocently enough, with Luality attempting to unlock a safe. Little did they know that the Dice Gods had other plans in store. With each roll of the dice, their luck took a nosedive, plummeting into the depths of improbability. Four consecutive nat ones, my friends. Four. Let that sink in.

Now, rolling a nat one once is already quite the unfortunate event. But Luality managed to defy the odds and do it not just twice, but thrice. The chances of this happening? One in a cosmic gazillion. It’s like the Dice Gods themselves were conspiring against them. I can only imagine the incredulous disbelief that washed over Luality as they lay defeated on the ground, muttering, “Did I just roll a critical one three times in a row? I think the game is telling me to move on.”

But wait, the saga doesn’t end there! Unbeknownst to our valiant streamer, they were about to embark on an epic journey of the fourth nat one. It’s the sort of moment that defies the laws of probability and leaves you wondering if the fabric of reality has somehow glitched. “This is not possible, right?” Luality questioned, caught between frustration and awe.

Luckily, our protagonist’s iron will prevailed in the end. With a fifth roll, they managed to break free from the clutches of their unlucky streak and successfully opened the safe. Although, I must confess, a part of me secretly yearned for one more nat one just for the sheer entertainment value. Oh, the drama!

While Luality lay sprawled on the floor, defeated by their encounter with the Dice Gods, the virtual peanut gallery had a field day. Viewers couldn’t help but revel in the absurdity of it all, jokingly suggesting that our unlucky soul should test their fortune with a lottery ticket. After all, what are the odds of hitting a 1-in-a-bazillion roll, right?

In the midst of the commotion, some astute commenters chimed in with a potential solution: the toggleable Karmic Dice option. This little feature, which is on by default, aims to prevent excessively bad luck streaks while still maintaining an element of randomness. It’s a bit divisive within the community, but hey, at least it keeps you from wanting to throw yourself on the ground in defeat.

In other Baldur’s Gate 3 news, while the game may never grace the halls of Xbox Game Pass, developers Larian have confirmed their commitment to supporting the game into the following year. So fear not, adventurers, more epic quests and dice-rolling adventures await!
