My mistake. I was basing what I said only on the information from the FAQ. In view of the interview you linked, indeed, Larian clearly said they would implement rolling for stat.
Coming back to your original point, yes, the official FAQ provides unambiguously incorrect information. Providing prospective customers with correct information about your product is so overrated, I guess. Bets are open for how much time it will take for Larian to rectify this.
Not only would, he said you "can" roll for stats. While scrolling through I found something interesting about hoe they tried to implement reactions but it didn't work. So no wonder that suggestion from fans was never picked up.
