It’s a big complaint for new players to Baldurs gate 3. People think a 95% chance to hit won’t fail but it does sometimes. Just the luck of the dice.

    'drop rates' are the same thing. 10% chance doesn't mean you will see it drop if you run a mission or defeat that boss ten times.

    Or thinking that if you didn't get the drop in 9 attempts, you're practically guaranteed it in the next attempt.

    Nope, still 1 in 10 chance.

    In most simple written RNG calculations, past failures do not guarantee future success.

    I believe some games will keep a tally of failures and award a successful loot after x failures to avoid frustrating players.
