Though I enjoy BG3s system (still too slow..) Turn base slows the game to a crawl for me. Simple battles take 15 minutes. Battles are less and fewer apart.
A 20 hour RPG becomes a 50 hour RPG with just have turn base battles basically. Very convenient way to make your game <longer>.
Really wish there would be a way to have both. INTERESTING fast real time battles (world creatures, minor quests...) and the more STRATEGIC longer turn base battles (bosses, major quests, key story moments).
As in example, NO WAY the first imps battles at the beginning needs to be turn base...waste of time, its silly and stretches things out way more than it needs to be, make THATS real time with pause. Creates URGENCY, and SPEED. But keep the end part of the ship as turn base. Larian could of created a unique dynamic system like this that I think would of worked wonders for the game.
