Nowadays with WotR...I usually just go RTwP for the casual mobs and such, and use TB for the dramatic, big bosses. Being able to strategise and move characters around like chess pieces just makes me feel cool.
This. I very recently started playing WotR and, after restarting a couple of times, I must say that I find this mix of RtwP and TB to be the absolute sweet spot. Trash the mobs/easy fights and then take your time for the tough ones. If I had to pick one though, I'd go TB.
