From what i'm seeing via youtube chat stream ,comments and forum posts and also twitter , there's like 65% of people who want it to be real time and about 35% who want it turn based , people who want it real time are 95% people who played the BG/Icewind Dale series , and 95% of the people who want it turn based are people who played the Original Sin games and liked them , not Baldur's gate , all i say is for the devs to find a way to satisfy both , and having a real time option added to the game would fix thing , it's not making it a broken hybrid like some above comments mention , it will obviously be played different , but it's better than splitting the fan base and disappointing more people by making it turn based , compared to real time , or vice versa.

Yes exactly. Of course there are going to be some fans of the original games who prefer TB, but there is no question the vast majority prefer RTwP (and do see the RTwP combat of those games as being good, so talk of people "hating" the combat in those games is just TB sour grapes). So essentially BG3 is Larian making a game with the "BG" title but meant for the D:OS fanbase at the expense of the BG fanbase.

I will be boycotting this game (while continuing to criticize the game at every turn), and I hope many of those of you who also prefer RTwP will be doing the same. We can instead support P:WotR because those Pathfinder games, and even the Dragon Age games for that matter, are the true successors of the original BG games.
