In D&D, how vital is it to have a character who can't force saving throws on the enemy? Should every character have at least one ability that does forces a saving throw or is the bonus to hit simply enough?
If a character has no saving throw abilities and only uses attacks with a to hit modifier, how much weaker will they be against an enemy with high AC when they could be using saving throws?
A well-rounded character should have a way to deal with high-AC enemies, but your character doesn't necessarily need to be well-rounded in that sense — D&D characters almost never do anything alone. A well-rounded party is more important; as long as someone in the party has a way to handle that type of situation, you'll be fine.
That said, making a character that has absolutely no abilities or spells that force a saving throw is pretty difficult these days. In fact, technically it's impossible under the 2024 rules, since grappling and shoving characters with an unarmed strike now forces a saving throw, and literally any character can do that.

I've read this several times, and I am not understanding the question at all. Can you re-write your question in a different fashion?
