To avoid people whining there should be an option where you can see a mini 20 sided dice in the combat log with the number you rolled in the attack. Early levels are like this you don't have enough gear to improve your to hit bonuses. Probably they will add a story mode for people that don't want to enjoy D&D combat.
I think if other messages like blocked or dodged appear as a result of my bad rolls it could be more acceptable.
Because some part of me can't imagine why my character suddenly became so incompetent that they could not hit this giant target.
And by the way I just remembered in the very same battle my rogue missed 3 times (Sneak + 2 offhand strikes) against one of the bugbears that had slipped on one Gale's iceblasts and was dodging my drows attacks while lying on his back.
