I used to say I liked the RT style of gameplay because it kept you on your toes. This is still true but by playing games such as BG2, IWD1 & 2 I love the way you can pause combat there. Without the pause the complexity, coupled with my lack of dexterity would make the game very hard.
The control style of the combat system has to suit the game style. For the last 2 months I've been playing Age of Wonders 2. The turn-based combat is very well implemented there and makes it easy to control large armies.
Generally, as I get older, <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mage.gif" alt="" /> I prefer pausing the action.
