How is the action like?

Is it like Deus Ex HR where you have full combat controls, or something more watered down?

[the rizz that saved the west]

In a way its almost turn based, though you can enable free movement in the options menu.

You say that like Deus Ex 1 and 2 didn't have full combat controls. *Sighs*

In any case, you don't have direct control. It's more like you issue commands, and the character carries them out.

[The CEO]

Pseudo-turn based. Pause and play while in combat to either issue commands or let it just do it's thing with auto attack (I do not advise this though).

[PC > MAC]

Turn based

[Initial C]

It's real-time with pause. I don't think anyone here knows what turn-based means.

[Hassat Hunter]

Reminds me of a certain Torment poll.
But yeah, RtwP. Like Baldur's Gate.

[Mormacil]

Pretty close to Dragon Age Origin.

[Chuck McDanger]

Very similar to Dragon Age Origin, The Witcher, stuff like that. The games depth doesnt as much derive from its combat but more from its character and dialogue aspect. That being said, the combat is still satisfying and there are many different feats and abilities to chose from.
