You see the dice rolling on the screen but also theres a log on the right side of the screen and if you put your cursor on a line in the log it gives you a break down of the dice roll involved.
Recorded beginning of the game, some 40 minutes on my 5800X3D and 3080Ti, 4K, DLSS quality, maxed out
The game is fun, although from the first 8 hours I do not see anything 10/10 about it yet. Just a solid RPG.
It needs work on technical front when it comes to controller support. No ability to set camera sensitivity or toggle is annoying as hell. And hotfix still did not remove the version number from gameplay, only from cutscenes, wtf. Belgians.

i think thats only dialoge box like persuasion rolls or skill checks though, combat is more hidden like you say.
Yeah its only those rolls, for other rolls you have to go to the log and hover the cursor over the entries to get the roll breakdown
No, its all much more in line with D&D than Divinity was

So far no, you can get some extra fake hp that acts a little like armor does, but there is just hp to deal with so far as I've played.
Base armor and things do matter more though.
I was reading one of the forums and there was a lot of threads about how PC games have gone all woke and such crap. So I picked a coloured female lesbian paladin defender of justice and righter of social wrongs as my character. 
Enjoying it so far but getting used to the combat nuances is going to take time. I try to take the high ground and am using hide a lot. That Gale character is terrible in combat though, he folds quicker than superman on laundry day. His name is quite apt because he falls over in a stiff wind.

"Coloured" - pretty sure at the moment that is racist.

I think coloured is ok, discoloured is a no no.
Strangely it seems to go either way according to the people of colour I know (who prefer the term black) when such distinctions need to be made at all.
Like many such phrases it is how it is used that makes it racist.

#shudders. With the x-com games one felt some of the complexity on pc had been stripped out for consoles (from predecessors a decade older) so I hope people can confirm this isn’t the case here. The very pc-ish d&d nerdy complexity around combat etc and having to very careful consider exactly how to approach encounters was one of the best things with bg1&2.

Will just have to wait and see. I'm playing on PC, and won't be getting it on console. I've heard DOS2 ( and 1 ) works fine on console, and with a controller, so that bodes well. But Larian did spend several years polishing those titles post release.

From my perspective, I like giving people choice. The problem with some of the games that people call woke is that it's embedded in every aspect of the game, in an unavoidable fashion.
Give people the choices and options to play how they want and no one can complain really!

I've only ever played DND once to see what it was like, I like the computer versions as it does all the calculations for me but real life version is not as interesting.
Does anyone who plays it know what is better out of these two armours?
Armor 1: +1 stealth
Armor 2: +1 bonus to stealth checks AND advantage on constitution saving rolls.
I assume the latter but not sure if +1 stealth all the time beats just +1 bonus to stealth checks.

I would always take Advantage on anything (roll twice, take the higher result)
