I was raised on classic as baldurs gate, icewind dale and fallout 1.
Of course i continue my RPG adventure with game like nwn 1&2, kotor 1&2, etc.
Most of the games i played was real time with pause.
I can accept turn based in strategic games like alpha centauri, call of power or endless legend/space.
I can also accept it in RPG games with post-apocalyptic/steam punk nature like arcanum, fallout 1&2 or colony ship.
I been playing larian games since dragon knight saga.
I tried dragon commander, it was a strange mix of risk/rpg and rts.
I also tried divinity original sin 1&2.
In the first game i got lost while exploring the beginning of the game.
In the second i got bored by the second act, i got that every encounter was turn based.
At the beginning it was nice but later it has become a nuisance since i was winning every encounter but everyone had to take they sweet ass time.
For me the sweet spot was dragon age origins where combat was in real time but you could create tactics for every character.
I loved every other aspect of bg3 ( at least what i watched on youtube).
The only things that gets me off from getting this game is turn based combat.
I was never a fan of both recent x-com games when it comes to combat.
Secondly i was disappointed by D:OS 2 in terms of combat.
I love great character interactions, conversations, different way to resolve quests, etc.
What i hate ,from my first impressions, : turn-based combat, dnd 5e, and no custom portrait option.
Maybe custom portraits is not a big deal for most people but for me it is.
I created hundreds if not thousands of portraits for my crpgs. From bg, icewind dale through tyranny to nwn1&2.
One thing that this game has going for it is modding since i love modding games.
I do not remember how many hours i spent modding oblivion.
Thanks for your honest answer.
Cheers,
