I used to always try for the best outcome but with this have it seems like half of the time a failure also leads to an amazing consequence and story.

Like this from act one in the Underdark:

spoilerI had to find a hidden gnome that could supply me with gunpowder, but she was so much on edge that she lit up the barrel of gunpowder and blew up the whole room, leaving half of my party dead. A suicide gnome bomber. I couldn't convince her that I was not an enemy. Reloaded just to see if I could successfully do it, but much preferred the first outcome of the dice roll, so had to reload and try 6 times until I failed again. What a game!

I mostly roll with my failure and my biggest one in Act one is

divulgâchewhen I let Halsin die while fighting the goblins, so Kagha can lead the grove and expulse the tieflings and now I cannot help Karlach with her heart. In an another coop campaign, despite my disagreement, my buddy decided to kill Kagha because of his paladin principles. We are screwed isn't it?

I don't regret it, because it's so fun to see my decisions have such an impact on the story. It makes the campaign replayable.

Your spoiler tag doesn't work.

I see. The spoiler tag on lemmy is way more complicated on lemmy and the lemmy sync app showed me wrong.
