This is fair, but not necesarily fair. I remember vividly how it was when EA just hit. The same people that shouted 'rraaarraa it's DOS3 not BG3 becasue it's not Real-time-with-pause', were the same people that shouted 'rrraaarrraaaa Larian hates D&D because they changed a thing from the rules'

These two things are mutually exclusive. RTWP would annihilate that which sets 5E apart from every other edition, namely the Action economy. So, no matter what choice they'd have made here, they'd have at least half of the 'Rrraaarraaaa's' and quite likely traded that for a new 'Rrraarraaa' for not honoring the action economy. There were a great number of those back then, to the point where I told myself I'd never come back here again. Alas, the hype got me and here I am. Things are a fair bit better now, luckily.


Fear my wrath, for it is great indeed.
