Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Mega-threads and Guides The Turn-Based/Real Time with Pause topic

Well for me turn based makes it feel more like a true D&D game.
But the realtime pauze mechanic pushes you more to improvise which I love aswell so either way is fine with me.

Though If we add in dice rolls etc. and a potential D&D 5e GM mode as gamemode I think it's better to go for a Turn based system for Larian.
