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

Bigger question is who gives a crap?

It’s a single-player game, let people enjoy things the way they want to. I personally don’t save-scum the skill and ability checks, but I will save-scum on a tough fight if I’m in a losing position - and I ain’t gonna knock on people who do and don’t do that in a single-player game.

For multi-player, I would discourage it since dealing with your friend’s fuckups is like, half the fun of a tabletop session.

Yeah, I have to agree. When it’s a single player non competitive environment, who gives a fuck? Even if it ruins the game for the person doing it, that’s all their are hurting, their own experience.

How is it ruining the experience for them if they shape the experience they want?

They're not saying that it does ruin the experience, they're just saying that if the argument is that the experience is ruined, it's only the player's experience that is ruined.
