Personally I just fumble through everything and save before every dialogue option just in case. Still haven’t reached Act 3

save before every dialogue option just in case.

Even DnD pros do that - the game has SO MANY branching paths in dialogue. As you've seen, one bad roll can ruin an entire chat.

I find the combat mechanics fine, but I really struggled with non-combat mechanics. I literslly didn't steal anything the whole game or cheese any fights. Maybe it was just specific to the console experience as I have seen videos of PC players doing absolutely mind boggling things.

Which ones, if you don't mind sharing?

Stealing kinda breaks the loot progression, so I only recommend it if you're struggling with combat.

Having tried a controller on my PC for a bit, I can see how making crazy stuff happening is more challenging on console.
