Except Larian is not really doing that. For instance, both dipping and shove adds nothing new. These options exist already in D&D in multiple forms, even implemented into BG3. This is about making strategic options into core elements no matter what the cost, no matter how clunky, how imbalanced, or how unimmersive.
