I'm wearing the gloves of the absolute because the combat is too laden with RNG.
There is a lot of RNG in D&D 5e. But RNG isn't bad . . . and your play should be to maximize your odds. And yes EVERY point of bonus is impactful.
You bring up Divinity Original Sin 2 which had very little RNG but I feel this was a huge flaw in the game. Larian went out of their way to remove RNG in DoS2 (as opposed to DoS1)
If you don't like RNG then you aren't going to like Baldur's Gate 3.
The combat in DoS1 was far superior. Actually DoS1 was a superior game to DoS2 in nearly all aspects but that's another argument!
