If Larian makes BG3 turned based it won't be Baldur's Gate. It will some other game with BG skins and characters.
BG3 takes place quite some time after BG2. So it's more like it's the game taking place in the same geographical place at a different point in time. Skin looks quite different and it is unknown if any of the characters will pop up for a cameo.

That why you set autopause my friend. Pause when spotting enemy. Pause when spotting trap. Pause when enemy killed. AI off. I learned it when fighting the pack of goblins for the first time in Irenicus Dungeon. Never looked back.

You see? Turn-based game and gets the same effect as RTwP.

NWN1 yes. NWN2, no - it had up to 4 man party, with fully fledged companions.

That's a weird argument. I mean you are clearly not playing Panzer Corps2 if you are busy eating a bowl of soup, watching a movie or writing on this forum. You can do the same with any game. I suppose the difference is that you don't have to manually pause PC2 to do something else, but it doesn't mean that you play the game, when you don't... play it. The fact that you choose to use automatic pause to do something else might mean that PC2 just isn't a very good game (didn't play it myself so can't comment). A good turn-based games can keep me glued to the screen for hours. The games which do make me distract myself are those no requiring much of my imput to play - like Elite, or AssCreeds Dragon Age: Origins actually. Combat in that was brain-dead repetitive bore. Almost the same with Tyranny. Turnbased games are generally the complete opposite - no visual flare to distract so it's all killer no filler, or it's crap.
