Larian and many on this forum want to claim that the game is TB because D&D is TB. I say bullshit. This game is TB because that's what works for MP. That's the real reason the game is TB.
If that's true, then the tie goes to TB, since TB can accommodate SP and MP where RTwP can accommodate only SP.
Fair enough (though technically there are many games out there that are RT/RTwP and MP that seem to work fine). But I can accept that. However, Larian (and others) should be honest about this, because if they are honest in this way, the reactions of many fans (on both sides I would imagine) would be quite different. I can see myself being open to a game that is excellent in every other way but suffers from having TB combat. But I will absolutely NEVER touch a MP game (and that includes MP games that can be played SP) no matter how fantastic a game it may be.
By many accounts, the MMO Neverwinter is a very good game as MMO games go, and seems to be receiving very good support from its developer. And it can be played SP if you wish. But that game is an automatic and hard 'no' for me because "MP with SP slapped on to it" is not acceptable.
