I usually hate turn based combat. Will I still enjoy this game?

[Alphaeus]

Exceptions being games I've played such as Paper Mario and The Stick of Truth, but more often than not I find it slow and sometimes overly complicated. Anyway, just wondering how other people like myself found the game.

[Recjawjind]

I wasn't big on turn based video games (loved actual DND though) until I played Larians previous turn based RPGs, Divinity original sin 1 and 2, and they made me fall in love with Larians take on it.
If you wanna give it a go, I'd say the chances are pretty good that their previous games will go on sale in about a week. While it of course won't be 1-1 with bg3, it should give you an idea on what it's like.

People like yourself don't enjoy turn based combat games also. It's easy.

[Haru]

Most turn based games are all an entirely different basket of panthers. You've really got to give them a go first.

You probably won't like it then, but as a guy said before, you could try Divinity 2 Enhanced with friends -> it's nice and easier to understand

No way to really say if you will like it or not.

It is D&D turn based which is not the same thing as XCOM turn based at all.

But it is similar to isometric RPG games such as BG1, BG2, WotR, Solasta, and so forth. So, if you really don't like those, you MAY not like BG3 that much.

That being said, I personally don't like those other isometric turn-based RPGs much, but I really DO like BG3 combat. The whole world and story just grabs you and sucks you in such that the combat becomes an equal part along with the exploration and story.

It really is very good. :)

I wouldn't at all compare this game to bg1, 2 and WotR.
You can't compare larians turn based to other companies turn based, and ESPECIALLY to games that are RTwP (or more specifically, designed around RTwP even if they feature a TB mode).

You probably won’t.
I enjoy the combat a lot and have saved games before each major fight because I love replaying them with different builds .

Combat is a big part of the game so if you like fast paced action you won’t enjoy the game and are better off playing something more suitable to your preferences

I said 'similar' and made no other comparison. What is your point as it relates to the OP question?

And, how would you know anyway (unless you purchased on GOG)?

[General Malaise]

Just watch someone playing it on Youtube, then decide.

[The_Dipl0mat]

Honestly, I'd say its similar to the South Park games you enjoyed. It isnt on a flat grid, but you spend a characters turn to move, and attack with one of their abilities. Then onto the next characters turn, be it yours or the enemy. With everything outside of that being real time

[Pan Darius Cassandra]

No, you'll hate it.

[HEY]

No.

Also, don't listen to the Trolls that give you no information other than to just tell you not to play (or to play, for that matter).

Look for legitimate and valid criticisms in order to base your decision upon. :)

And watching some beginner play through videos would be a great way to see what it is about. But will probably see some spoilers as from the start of the game, it is pretty intense. :)

[NegativeZero]

I think it's unlikely you will enjoy this game. Not every game is for every player.

[AsianGirlLover]

If you liked Paper Mario for the story and beautiful presentation, you’ll like BG3. The combat is easy to learn, difficult to master.
