Is all the combat turn-based or can I play it like a real time game?

Yes, no.

You could have found this in 5 seconds if you used google.

And no, there will be no RTwP.

Then this game just went from a 8/10 to a 0/10 for now.

Thanks for the answer, have a good day.

Some people called dragon age origins turn-based because of the pause mechanic. I wanted to be sure. Now get blocked.

How did you give it 8 , if you have not played it?

And just because these kind of topics tend to start a discussion, let me leave this here from the beginning:

The choices that we made are ours. Why did we go for turn-based instead of real-time with pause? Because D&D to us is a turn-based game and we're really good - or we have become really good - with turn-based combat. So that, I think, is one of our strengths, and trying out real-time with pause for now, just because the originals were that? It's a big risk. Because the team would have to think completely differently, our combat would be completely different. And we didn't really feel good about that. Normally we do try out a lot. Normally we try out a lot before we make a decision, but with real-time with pause and turn-based we didn't, we just said "Okay, it's just gonna be turn-based."

I loved the second game and I thought this was going to be like that one but I guess not, thanks for sharing this.

Ah, I'm so looking forward to the forums a month from now when clueless people simply buy the game and then discover it is turn based only despite the information being front and center for years now. Fun times ahead.

At least the OP sought out the information prior to purchasing.

I'm looking forward to 10 page threads of RTwP and TB fans just going back and forth endlessly.

That and didn't they ask people what they wanted the most and most people voted Turn-Based?

But even then there are more problems that would arise from having RTwP. Firstly, Larian's engine is seriously incompatible with RTwP. Ask the modders who tried to force a RTwP mode into DOSII.

Secondly, this can also be played in multiplayer. A RTwP multiplayer session sounds like a right recipe to just stumble over every obstacle D&D has managed to avoid on top of being utterly miserable.

Thirdly, RTwP is just completely outdated and has seen no changes to how it's implemented for over a decade.

Lastly: RTwP is feeeehkin sssssssssssscheisse.

Well devs really divided the fans on this. A lot of people won't buy the game that otherwise would have bought it. For good or for worse.

But I won't be here for that drama. There are other games without turn-based combat after all.

Don't you have to do the blocking? I wasn't aware I could go "get" it myself.

Sadly we are left with the simplified, inferior mode that is TB, it is what it is.

Sounds like a subjective opinion. :D
