Tech department seems to be doing not so good - they are after all reusing old engine
The game engine has been, and is being, significantly updated (moreso than from Dragon Commander to D:OS or D:OS to D:OS 2).

The graphics for the character models, environment, etc, are all improved, the camera system has been updated (some of which is in progress).

With significant overhauls of the engine, things like the save system have to be redone, as well. It isn't just the in-game mechanics that changed. The same was the case with the previous games, though it was mostly functional in the prototype builds when D:OS and D:OS 2 were first shown, in or leading into the respective Kickstarters.

Since D:OS all we've done is RPGs, as well. If that's an argument for RTwP, it's an argument to be creative with the genre, as well.

The only people I've seen harping on that are those who think any concern over missing too much means the enviable destruction of the entire system. A single miss is slower in turn based, but real time combat can be slow, tedious and/or annoying with too much missing, as well.
