Funny.
I agree on certain points.
Not the combat though. You enter combat with one character and hide the others. Your characters turn comes up. Time stands still and you can walk your other chars into desireable positions, fire an attack at a convenient target and only then enter the battle? That is just broken. I have killed whole groups of mobs without
them beein able to do anything just because of that broken mechanic.
All character have to enter a combat at the same time. Period. Also if you enter turn based mode, time needs to stop. For all. Thats what turn based is for. What use have i if i enter turn based mode but the NPC i want to attack is just going for a walk? He can contiune his walk when it is his turn.
