I may be wrong, but the way I think they are handling saves/dice rolls is your proficiency bonus is added to your roll and your attributes decrease the target number. I am not opposed to it even if is markedly different, because at higher levels dice rolls get a little ridiculous. 3rd table top was particularly bad, I would constantly be given target numbers in the thirties and forties to hit at like level eight and I always felt the number creep made everything a little ridiculous.

I am guessing, but I think the plan is to keep the target numbers all on a 1-20ish scale, so early dice rolls like we are seeing now are initially rough, but later on you will be much more consistent in overcoming the challenge they present.

edit: It also makes a certain amount of sense on a practical level, your attributes show your natural propensity, if people find you naturally attractive and alluring convincing them to talk to you or help you would be easier than if they looked upon you with derision and disgust.
