I'm well aware of Arcanum's option to toggle between real-time and turn-based. Real-time is too fast; turn-based is too slow. The combat of this game is, simply put, an ugly mess. (I can probably sit down and list its flaws, but I don't really have the energy to reinstall the game.) The "fatique" system is just ridiculous. The game, to me, is unplayable. All my opinions, of course.
Mandrake: I was simplifying. Casting spells, selecting abilities, whatever -- I don't require five minutes a round for these. And I don't mind Death. He's a nice fellow, once you get to know him...
