Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Tedious Turn Based Combat

As the title states.

I still have all BG games installed and play them but I don't really see myself replaying the game because of how boring the combat is. Before every monster, their mother, father, sister, and brother from other mother take turns to move you're already fed up and just want it to be over. It's not the difficulty or the challenge of the combat but the tediousness of it that kills you. It's not dynamic, it's not interesting, takes too much time doing *nothing*.

I really hope BG3 goes the same path as Pillars of Eternity Deadfire and let people choose the style of combat they want. Because right now it feels like they want the DnD starved crowd to play what is pretty much Divinity Orginal Sin 3.

I mean Larian made pretty much exactly what they promised.
They said it would be turn-based a long time ago.

I do feel your pain though, as I am the opposite and could not play POE2 until they released turn based mode.

Its hard to make a game that does both.
I can say for one that a lot of mechanics in POE2 are kinda broken in turn-based. Action speed for example does really have any affect in turn-based mode and you can turn on modals without any downfall.
