Bad rng ruins games. When it’s done correctly, it’s fun. You have to seperate what’s fun from what’s not. It’s fun to hit a 20 and instantly delete something form existence. It is not fun to “do everything right” and still be punished for it.

I don’t understand the appeal. Gamers rage about how RNG ruins games, and the biggest game of the year is totally based in RNG.
Then there’s the hornyness. Even the trailers made this game seem like it’s just about who you can bang.

Most of the time I’ve raged about RNG is from WoW, not other games. In WoW, I’m not raging about misses or crits. I’m mad because I’ve done the fight as well as I can and succeeded, only to have the same damn leather boots drop every damn time that neither I nor anyone else needs. Or having to kill bugs to get a specific quest item that could drop on your first try or your thousandth.
RNG in this game can also be infuriating, but in a different way. It’s not game breaking, just fight delaying. Or I might not be able to deceive the guard to let me in, so I just have to fight my way in.

Have you considered that the people raging about a thing and the people enjoying the same thing might be different people?
