Baldur’s Gate 3 is among the most awaited titles for the second half of 2023. Being the third edition of the series, the game is expected to thrash some sales records. The Dungeons & Dragons-themed adventure game has always received critical and fan acclaim. Most of the game’s popularity is attributed to its challenging action sequences. But what if we tell you Baldur’s Gate has a default setting that makes the action 400 times tougher?

Larian Studios with the upcoming chapter of Baldur’s Gate series is aiming to take the challenge to another level. As intriguing as the promise sounds, gamers have started collecting pro advice to smother their gameplay. A Reddit user has come up with the most useful advice for which the players cannot afford to miss. So, before you begin with your gameplay in Baldur’s Gate 3, you may wanna check your settings for ‘Karmic Dice’.

If you go to the ‘Karmic Dice’ interface under the settings you will find it turned on by default. The enabling of Karmic Dice leads to your enemies hitting you more often than usual and significantly harder. The effect will further increase with the player’s armor class. Any armor class above 23 will face damage 4 times more than usual. This also makes the player’s tank build-up ineffective. 

The insight was first discovered by a gamer who shared the information on Reddit seven months ago. The user went on to explain how they went on to conclude Karmic Dice’s effect on damage and gameplay. Through the post, the user wrote, “I recently did multiple solo playthroughs, and when I wanted to do an “as defensive as possible” playthrough, I noticed how it was quite a struggle. Of course, the game is not intended to be played through with a single character, however, having completed the EA with multiple other builds, I noticed that this playthrough was significantly more difficult and I had to reload a lot.”

After analyzing further on the issue, the gamer collected data on all the encounters and damage. The user claimed to have experimented with over 100 attacks for Armor classes 15,17,19,21,23. These encounters were analyzed both with Kamric dice enabled and disabled. Counting to a total roll of 1369, the latter concluded the hack.
