How do I turn off turn-based combat?
Where's the big red handle that switches turn-based combat from ON to OFF? I like to slay demons in real-time, thanks.

wasn't really a try, thats what baldurs gate was from the start, its on the back of the first games box even.

not sure your concern from "that other game(out of thousands this is nothing)" but its D&D game, so turn based.

Should have been RTwP and should have been called Divinity Original Sin 3.

It's never been real-time. The game use to let you move while idling/waiting for your turn, but your actions/attacks always waited [n] seconds between rounds. In ~RT mode, your characters mostly stand there doing nothing until the next ~tick, at least in TB mode they feel more competent.

u think anything DnD have to be turn based because of table top limitations?

you need finish the game first then you unlock option to turn it off

i think if you are trying to use the D&D ruleset, which is founded in its turn based mechanics, then yes.

this isn't D&D Chronicles of Mystara which is a beat em up, this is the official 5e D&D game.

There's a game called Diablo you might like, give that a try.

Ew, Diablo. I suggest Grim Dawn instead unless it's Diablo I or II.

Nah. BG 1&2 should have been turn based. BG3 is a true BG game.

if you want to avoid turn-based combat, just don't get caught.

Got me there, Grim Dawn is the only one of those type I actually like.

This is Dungeons and Dragons. Turn Based is the way the rules were made. :luck:
