DC 10. You roll a natural 1, it modifies to 15. CRITICAL FAILURE
I feel like it’s a bit ridiculous. A professional with expertise doing the worst they possibly can shouldn’t be the same as any random untrained person doing the worst they can.
That is why they ditched critical failures and success in tabletop D&D.
My guess is they kept it in bg3 so there would be a chance of failure on everything including the DC 2 rolls, but to be honest I don’t think that chance of failure really adds anything to the game.
Do you know how many times that has pissed me off? Especially on my rogue where even a 1 would have opened the damn lock.

Why are you rolling in those cases?
Yeah, as DM I’ve always house ruled that it didn’t make sense for a character to fail at the thing they’re the best at.
Though I have been known to interpret a natural 1 as a crazy external force - like an earthquake - and have them reroll at -10.
Makes it even more fun when they succeed anyway.
