This argument doesn't fly when BG3 is supposed to be a sequel of BG1 and BG2, which were *not* turn-based despite also being based on D&D. Not to mention that a computer game doesn't have the same physical limitations as a pen-and-paper tabletop, which are turn-based by necessity. They shouldn't be treated the same.
