Such a scenario is so implausible and absurd that it made me chuckle.

The turn-based-only "I ❤️ slow combat" crew would obviously love that, but Diablo would fans would hate it and revolt. Rightly so too.

Not to mention that a turn-based game could never sell over 30 million copies like Diablo 3 did. A turn-based has not and never will come even close to such figures.

Bonus trivia: Diablo was originally a turn-based RPG, but the developers adopted a realtime combat system rather late in development. horsey


I love how you act like people who enjoy turn-based combat CLEARLY would just approve ANY idea if it was turn-based. I mean, you RTwP people only approve of GOOD games with your big brains that we turn-based plebs don't have, right?

Diablo would suck with turn-based comabt.
Guess what? Diablo only has you controlling ONE person, not a party, which makes it easier, MUCH easier, to handle.
It also lacks jumping, dodging, grapple rules, and an overlarge skill-bar.

All of which is easier to use when I'm not trying to command a party of 5 in real time.

What's that? Pause every 5 seconds to give orders?

Welcome to a more clunky, less useful, turn-based system called real time w/ pause. May as well just be turn-based..Oh, it IS!
