Baldur's gate sucked as a Real-time strategy and any attempt to make a turn-based ruleset into real-time is r-slurred. The new game is objectively superior without the shitty 90's era combat hamstringing it.

Yeah nothing beats making every single little fight take 20 minutes to complete because you have to wait for everything to happen. All turn based does is artificially lengthen the game so they can claim it takes X hours.

Yes fights can be made difficult, engaging and fun as compared to a 30 seconds of pain inducing pausing or 5 seconds of auto fighting.

I have never had a fight take 20 minutes to complete because my brain isn't missing. if you only have a single character in the party or something sure but you can basically one tap most mobs with any non r-slurred build

What is the point of "shitty little fights?"
Do they make the game more fun?
Do they make the game more challenging?
They exist ONLY to pad out the runtime. In actual D&D, you don't have shitty little fights, as shit-tier enemies will fail their morale rolls and run away. The only place shitty little fights have in D&D is when you're dungeon delving out in the wilderness, and they exist to waste your limited resources. When a full heal is the "rest" button away and you don't have to keep track of your food and water, shitter fights are pointless.

not to mention you can dialog your way out of most fights in the game, so far I suspect the only one you can't is the tutorial ones

I have been loving BG3 but something I've realized is that a game that's “based on the DND rule set!!!” just translates to “65% of time spent during combat encounters is just watching people miss their attacks”.
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
yeah completely valid, the dnd stuff is probably the worst part of the game, but you can't really get around it considering that's the entire point of the game. they do have a rng babymode to help, but it's still part of the game
However if you miss regularly you suck lol make a better build

I'm against this sentiment because 5E makes everyone who actually cares mad by targeting brainless consooomers, which is good for dramacoin
I hope they release a half life 5e campaign soon & make it canon so literally everyone tangentally involved to both the half life community & non-r-slur tabletop community gets angry as heck

@BimothyX1 would like too add that there are plenty of better games than baldurs gate, with better character creation, story, etc. But they all try too to rtwp or combine rtwp and TB. And none of them are even remotely successful compared too baldurs gate.

Both combat systems are frankly tedious. Oh great, my sorc can cast 3 spells before they're useless how gripping. Rpg elements are great for the storytelling and can be integrated into a good combat system but frankly BG is an easily exploitable mess while at the same time being unnecessarily complicated.

I said it in the other thread: Real-time with pause is just turn-based with extra steps. You're just going to pause every time you go to assign an action to a unit which is exactly what turn-based does.
Real time without pause is definitely a completely different feeling of game, but Baldur's Gate isn't that.

If you thought people were listening to greasy neckbeards trying to argue their obtuse, non-functional system requiring more buttons than a Cold War era jet to operate then you're mistaken.
