So do you guys plan on adding real-time combat or what?
I mean every game like this is real time. Diablo 1-4, Nox, D&D, Baldurs gate 1 and 2. All real time. I dont understand why you'd alienate an entire player base when we all know you could've done both. Arcanum: of steamworks and magick is from 2001 and they were able to do it no problem i just can't wrap my head around this decision. I hope you guys change this cause i won't be buying otherwise and i was an avid player of baldurs gate 1 and 2 on xbox. A real shame i can't get into this one.

I think here you got the answer of the very question of your own topic. You should quote it, even if it's you which are answering it.
Whatever the old baldur's gate fans was (and i "was" one of them) they are completely outnumber of the new baldur's gate fans (which i am today).
Someone (3 years ago) tried to make a petition about it (a real one): https://www.change.org/p/larian-studios-baldur-s-gate-3-deserves-real-time-with-pause-combat
He got 500 signatures... 500 in "3 YEARS"... It's just hilarious. So if they were redoing the game (3+ years of development) it would be to satisfy something like a thousand players.

And at last Larian told us very early that the game will "never" be RtwP because it was not their strong suit. That unfortunate to the old players, i personally chose to adapt to it.

D&D is not real time. And we honestly don't care if you don't play the game.

It's great that we live in a world full of wonderful choices, there's so many good choices for you to pick from. Not every game has to cater to every player...

Hey no problem friend. I've played Diablo 1-3, D&D, BG1/BG2/Icewind Dale and I do not feel alienated. Learn from me.

One of the takes of all times, ngl

This game has nothing to do with diablo

DnD is turn based, and has always been turn based. Idk what you're smoking.

Bg1 and 2 were real time with pause, which is an old system spawned by computing and coding limitations.

Don't buy the game then xd

You're just about 3 years late with this post. But at least it's not about bears, still tho, no points.

Apparently another reason RTwP was shoehorned into a turn-based system was that MMORPGs were the hot seller at the time.

Man didn't think I'd see this complaint again. Especially since it's less than a month to release.

Likely not happening. Larian address why they went the turn-based route a loooong time ago and based on their responses, it's unlikely RTWP will ever be implemented. Even mods doing it is hard to say because they tried with Larian's last game and essentially gave up.

Honestly, I can see it. I really really tried to get into pf:km a while back, but rtwp was an absolute dealbreaker for me. I despise that system with every fiber of my body.

Unfortunately there's zero chance of that. And at this point it would just be a waste of time. I vastly prefer real time with pause, if for no other reason than I don't have to sit around bored out of my mind waiting for the enemies to run through their turns every battle, but it's silly to expect games to change their entire gameplay style just to appeal to you. If you don't like turn based, give this game a skip.

It wasn't really mmorpgs...it was more arpgs in general...ie diablo 1 released a couple years before bg1...
And I wish they would have gone the full way instead of that rtwp crap...
Both full ARPGs and TB are fine, but rtwp...I just can't play it...

Arcanum, even on release, was considered a poor example of both TB and RTwP.
