Coming from Divinity 2 to this is such a jaring, awful experience so far. For one thing, I find it laughable that the first combat you experience against the intellect devourers after you land is so insanely hard, I mean I had 3 straight critical misses and they crit me, the variance that the D20 system causes is simply absurd, and unfortunately unlike a real game of D&D there is no DM there to fudge the rolls in order to make the story work from a narrative basis, its completely RNG. I know some people might view this as whining but the reality is if you go into a combat, or perhaps even against a Boss, and you have literally no chance because of chaining critical misses then it takes all of the tension out of the game, it just becomes a slot machine to see if you were able to dodge the cursed run, regardless of how many attempts you make..
What's the difference between these Intellect Devourers critically you upon rolling a 20, or having 5% chance to crit?
Or you rolling a 1 or having a 5% chance to miss?
I'll tell you:
Absolutely nothing. They're the exact same value.
Changing the gameplay to a hit/miss percent changes basically nothing.
