Baldur’s Gate 3 is a masterpiece built on a bad tabletop game (www.polygon.com)

The writer got mad when a goblin shoved Astarion off a cliff. It reminded me of when I had Karlach shove a goblin in lava, then a goblin ran up and shoved HER in the lava. I didn’t get mad; I took it as a learning moment: enemies can shove me back, so move away from the lava.

It really just sounds like DnD is not for you. Dice probability is the core that DnD is built around and 5 of your 8 points are just disliking that. But I've known people who do ttrpgs with no dice rolls. Just the GM making judgement calls that leans heavily into the group story telling process and not on the mechanics. And that's the best part of them! They're customizable. But I'm wondering why you even picked up BG3 if you disliked the game its built around so much.
