If you roll over total AC thats a hit(with damage)
Make animations based on this.

Agree, it actually kills a lot of immersion that a Shield only raises the "miss chance".
Larian even could fake it and give 50% of cases a "blocked" animation and it would be huge benefit and motivation for wearing a shield.

I agree about the animations but '' miss '' is just an all-encompassing term in DnD that can mean anything.
I don't think that's the issue, but the animations are.

I think the simplest way to deal with this would just be this:

- When an attack misses you it says "Dodged" and shows you dodging, like currently.
- When an attack misses you and you have a shield equipped it says "Blocked" and shows you blocking with your shield.
- When an attack misses and you're wearing heavy armor but no shield it says "Glanced" and shows the attack connecting but glancing off.
- When an attack critically misses it says "Missed" and the attack veers off and hits nothing.

This would make it at least feel like your defensive bonuses are from different things in combat.
