Karmic Dice - yes or no? (bg3.wiki)

Somewhere during the Early Access Larian introduced the loaded / Karmic dice, to even out extreme effects of dice rolls. In EA this was enabled at default, and I assume the same will be true for the final release. It feels like it is a less pure D&D feature, since D&D gameplay is based on die rolls.

What do you think? Play with or without the Karmic Dice option enabled? And why?

I play with it off, because I prefer to not have my rolls messed with in either direction. I don't personally want to play with it giving me an artificial bonus and then likely dumping on me the next time I roll.

As someone else stated, if you don't know what you're doing keep it on for the sake of gameplay. Otherwise turn it off if you don't want it

I assume it is possible to switch it on of off anytime during the campaign.

It's an overall game setting, so yes. Thankfully you don't have to worry about making the choice before starting
