I like the skill checks. But 5e puts too much emphasis on the roll and too little on the character skill.
D20 is way too swingy and the modifiers the characters get are too small. 2d6 would be a lot better than 1d20.
I also like the ideas of tresholds where being skilled at something really means something and someone without any skill can't just come along and beat you because of RNG.
Hopefully the next edition of D&D will correct this. Bounded accuracy is a cool concept but they took it too far. Even better if BG3 could already use some new rules for skill checks.
