[...] I would have LOVED RTwP... they deserved to make it, it's all so sad the state of the world these days, no offense meant to Larian but why can't they make a Divinity III with faster combat instead, it's like some executive saw that Divinity gets good reviews on metacritic and they gave it to them based solely on that.
I think Larian were the perfect choice, and I love turn based combat way more than real time with pause. There are also many others out there who prefer turn based, so I don't think it's fair to say that Larian don't care what we think. They have made a decision based on what the playerbase as a whole wants, not just what you or any other single individual wants.
RT/TB has its very own topic as it's such a reliably contentious subject. Please take further discussion there.
