I'd very much prefer RTwP but it's not going to happen.
If they can make it so battles cover less ground, remove "Plotting next move" and overall speed things up, I'd like combat in this game much more.
The way it is now, many battles are annoying, boring, drag on and when they're over, I'm just happy it's over. I don't hate turn based but they can do and have done better.
Yeah, same here. I don't believe that it's gonna happen, but the fact remains that it is a problem (at least to me and other people who voiced similar opinions).
And I agree with you, at least make some effort to have combat flow faster and smoother. As I said before I am not completely opposed to turn based, but the way it exists in its current implementation is really really poor.
