Most of the time I've raged about RNG is from WoW, not other games. In WoW, I'm not raging about misses or crits. I'm mad because I've done the fight as well as I can and succeeded, only to have the same damn leather boots drop every damn time that neither I nor anyone else needs. Or having to kill bugs to get a specific quest item that could drop on your first try or your thousandth.
RNG in this game can also be infuriating, but in a different way. It's not game breaking, just fight delaying. Or I might not be able to deceive the guard to let me in, so I just have to fight my way in.
