I wouldn't be commenting if I did not think this game was worth it.
Just got to the dungeon orc scene. It should be clear that this is unavoidable. (If it is) By the time you reach this point you expect to never die as long as you aren't taking crazy risks. So, I returned to a previous save to do some leveling hoping that I missed some skill check. After returning and getting the same result with better stats, I came here.
Put another way, by that point we aren't expecting anything too crazy to happen to our character because we've been accustomed to understandable expected risks. There are warnings about the scary dungeon, but we didn't decide to go there and take that risk. We are kidnapped while scouting.
I really think if that scene was framed as we were knowingly taking a big risk going into the dungeon, I would have been less likely to revert to a previous save.
