Hehe...when i made this topic i never thought it would get much attention, mostly thought i'd be shut down for criticizing Larian's new game, but most dicussions on my topic and others (even though some people might have thrown light jabs at one another) seem to have been very constructive and i do hope Larian take into consideration what all fans would want from this game and it's legacy
But from what i gathered , there's are more people that want RTwP and their arguments seem to be objectively stronger and make more sense (even though you will say my opinion is actually subjective since i do belong to the group that wishes RTwP)
As i may have said in another post, people who desire and are for TB , are 95% or more that never played baldur's gate , almost all of them divinity fans or larian fans in general , the only solid argument for TB is that it's perfectly suited for 5e ruleset of DnD , which i do agree , but that's pretty much it.
Personally , the only games suited for Turn based is chess or similar games , or Heroes of Might and Magic and the Disciples game series(which are strategy games , not RPGs) ..as i may have mentioned , i will still buy and play this game, for its story and legacy , but the immersion is pretty much over for me during combat when chess starts , i will enjoy any other part of the game (story , dialogue , envoirments , graphics etc etc etc) since Larian have been good at these since their first game.
I don't think that there are any other existent turn based RPGs besides Original Sin games that people actually bought and played ,and people don't do that because it's turn based , that's the weakest argument of the TB camp, they do it because all the other characteristics of the game , make combat tolerable , of which i 100% agree.. that's why i'm only now currently playing and finishing Original sin 2 , because after the first one , i thought i will never want to be that bored in my life during combat and i overlooked it , but i kept hearing from almost everyone that it makes up for it with all the other characteristics besides combat i made above , and so here i am playing this game 3 years after release, and only did so because i ran out of things to play , and i play exclusively medieval fantasy type games from different genres, i don't think PC games that have magic and dragons and knights and all that good stuff that i haven't played or finished (except Torrment tides of Numenera and please do guess why that is
)
It's hard for me to cope with Turn based in an RPG game , i'm also quite the Soulsborne/Sekiro expert , imagine going from the hardest and most reaction based fast paced games to basically chess , my head hurts:P
I know i've trailed off the discussion and i do apologize , to enclose , i do hope the devs find the time ,resources and will to at least make a supported addon or mod for real time combat , hell..i'd even pay 50% extra of the game's value on top of the game's price just for that ,because i'd make that money back in 2-3 fights in this game while waiting for the animations to finish :P , everyone gets what they want , devs get more money and i could use that time exploring their game and/or replaying it , instead of wasting my time watching the monitor and pausing for 1-2-3 minutes for the enemy pack to finish their turn.
