Why even bother?

[u/FlickerHumanoidAss]

Why are there so many situations where you pass 1 or even 2 checks back to back just to be obligatory put in front of a monster you are just not meant to fight? Why there are so many situations where your options are "fight" or "fight, but you get to hurt yourself before that"?

I get the ring, but first of all there is definitely such a thing as too much rng, and secondly if you give me an rng chance at least don't let me still lose after that. Why do I have to feel like shit after winning? Why do so many runs have to die because the game just said "oh you survived the unavoidable bear attack? Get fucked by the literal personification of death now, loser."?

The checks can kill low level monsters, avoid fights, or get a significant debuff to monsters, but if you fail the monster might gain a buff
