I generally disagree with the OP. I liked D:OS and D:OS 2, but I am also interested in D&D 5e. Larian promoted this game as operating under the 5e ruleset. There are certainly room for tweaks and changes, but this is supposed to be a 5e game, not a hybrid of 5e and D:OS.

They aren't going to add additional dialogue for rolling a natural 1 or natural 20 in dialogue, there are just too many permutations that it's impossible.
