I have been getting an insane amount of critical misses in my games, often 3-5 in a row, and not just for myself, but for enemies as well. Is there maybe something amiss with the random generation or some hidden jinxed code like in same other indie games if your game was started on Monday, Friday the 13th or something like that?
Not saying it is a bug or it is impossible to get these sort of odds, but particularly the frequency is quite odd. Even that above roll has only 1 in 8000 chance of happening
Technically, every possible outcome would've had the same chance. But I get what you mean, the game sometimes feel like it has a "streak" going on. I think I had 6 or 7 crits in the last combat. Check our options for Karmic Dice.
Other than that, I don't think the rolls are rigged.
Typos happen. More so on the phone.
@Tom I do get what you mean, but all computer rolls are rigged one way or another, it is just obfuscated enough that it appears random to us. But real random is beyond the scope of any normal application
But yeah, I was guessing as much myself as well. I just wanted to inform them about it, in case others have had similar experiences, since it appears to be happening way more than in other games. A bit like when playing with jinxed in Fallout. And figured it could be that it might be due to how they might be evening out the rolls (most games these days are doing it, since players don't like random random, since they don't understand 95% chance to hit still means 1 in 20 will fail)
But I hadn't noticed that there were a separate section for it in the settings, and it does seem to have "true random" as the selected option, so I guess the luck on the rolls have just been that jinxed for everyone in my games
I'm aware Random Generators aren't truly random because computers can't really work with that. But we also need to keep in mind selection bias, which means that as humans we tend to remember the losses and forget the successes.
There could very well be something about the RNG that is oddly programmed, but I've not seen enough of a sample size to be sure. I'm considering trying out the Karmic Dice option for a bit eventually too.
