Ok.. the set is staged.

Eh, people don't even played the game, but they already had a negative vibes because someone dare to change something that they love in the original games.

I have read your post from top to bottom - and I get you - I understand that BG I and II are your favorite gamess and you would like to BG3 follow the footstep with rtwp - but its just sound like "I want to be like that!".
To be honest I completely disagree with your points, like

First of all: turn based combat don't break the flow of the game - this is how you play d&d - your party don't shout to your DM at once everything, and he don't shout to you what enamy is doing. everytningh is turnbased.
Lack of thrill? I understand that modern gamers want everything to be quick, flashy and feel like chaos vibe - but this is not how D&D is played. Fight are tatcial, you can plan, adapt or do a all in move - tactict is thrilling.

I strongly believe that post about RTWP will appear to the end of the days - maybe someone will create a mod for it (I'm sure they will).

Funny story. I was huge fan of Fallout 1 and then 2 - when they announced 3 i was super excited, but then it tourns out that its full 3d, no isometric view like 1 and 2 - i didnt like it,
but I was super chill about it - I have never play another Fallout game - they were just not my taste, not my esthetic with isometric view. If lack of RTWP is bodering you so much, maybe you don't need to force yourself to play? Its about to have a good time - not to be frustrated about something you don't like.
