Real time with pause?

[Jeeralt of Tilberia]

any way to play it with real time with pause, like baldurs gate is meant to be played? or stuck with turn based babby divinity mode?

Gosh, it's sure refreshing to open the steam forums and seeing people asking the same thing 457 times.
DnD is a turn based game. RTwP will not be a thing in early access, but might get added later. Don't hold your breath though, since the game is likely balanced on turn-based combat. You know, like a real DnD session.

I kind of hope there will be a real time mode but I doubt it.

nothing of what you say has any impact when bg1 and 2 were real time with pause, you would think the third would be as well, will be a snoozefest just like div 1 and 2

Keep in mind that the mechanics are going to be fairly more complicated than the original BG (just think of matter of verticality, like we've seen in the gameplay videos). Having all that play out in real time would be messy. Not to mention that casting AoE spells in RTwP is annoying as heck, as enemies move outside the area as your caster stands there mumbling.
Larian is trying to get the game to feel as close as possible to an actual DnD campaign. Real time would require to rewrite a huge chunk of the rules.

BG1 and 2 felt nothing like a DnD session, that's my point. Good games, sure. But that's not how a DnD game plays. The "blah blah BG1" argument is also quite illogic, since we're talking about a completely different company making the game like 2 decades later.

It's not a BG1/2 revival, it's a different project.

I mean it is exactly a BG1/2 revival or they wouldnt call it BG3 if its anything like larians other attempts the dialogue alone will be enough to warrant skipping it

I understand that a certain level of IQ is required to play RTWP doesnt mean I think any less of you

No it's not, otherwise it would be called "BG1 remastered", think before you type. It's a different game, with different characters, telling a different story, the only thing in common is the setting.

so BG2 was BG1 remastered, ok good logic
