NOOOOOOOOOOO <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devil.gif" alt="" />leave the combat system as it is,maybe put some new things in(like dual wield weapons)but leave it as it is.the real time combat system from <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" /> rulez,the monsters are not as easy to kill as they are in diablo(if in diablo u needed about 30 monsters to really have a challenge,in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/div.gif" alt="" />10 were enough to burn your [nocando]),but they are not as strong as they are in icewind dale(were u paused every time, even for a little goblin).in the end it all comes to killing it doesn't matter if u do it pausing the game and wasting your play time thinking of a strategy because it all comes down to this:hit the beast until it falls,the producers of baldur's gate realised that so that's why they did the monsters so hard to kill,so u could fool yourself into thinking you are playing "strategical" when u are really doing the same thing as in diablo...so i don't like to waste my time trying to kill 3 goblins that are more powerful then all my party even if they are low level monsters...one last thing pool of radiance has nice story and graphics but SUX at combat so bad no person should be cursed to play it,so please don't mention this game again especially with the word combat next to it.
