Its been a long time: Did DOS2 have shove, and what difference would it have made?
Anyway, I never finished DOS2 because I did not like the combat system. Too many environment effects (The whole screen was filled with cursed fire or something similar almost all the time) and you had to repeat the same actions all the time.
Lots of battles (DOS2 and BG3) get much easier with the quadruple alpha strike:
Separate all chars and let them hide. Sneak with char A in a good position and use your strongest attack. This char and enemies are frozen in time.
Char B sneaks to a good position and uses the most powerful attack while enemies are frozen.
Repeat with other chars plus summons.
From my point of view it makes no sense that you can sneak around while all enemies are frozen.
In BG3 many enemies do nothing if you hide, shoot at them, move a few steps and hide again.
