Thank you for your feedback. Many of your concerns are the DnD 5e system. However, I am hopeful for some quality of life improvements. For example, while I would never use it, I would still like to see a setting that allows you to auto succeed in dialog dice rolls. This would be a huge improvement for those who will just reload until they get the right roll. There are several more of your concerns that could be addressed similarly. I.E. there is no reason the AI couldn't control your party if you wanted it to.
