Honestly, one of the biggest things I enjoyed about the real Baldur's Gate games was the live-with-pause feature of the gameplay. Now, I knew, with Larion taking the reigns, live-with-pause would be unlikely. However, the inability to pause and effectively launch a party ambush within a surprise round by first staging, and then putting the rest of my party into simultaneous action is beyond frustrating. I'm fine with turn-based combat, but at least give me a pause and command function where I can actually use my whole party to surprise the enemy, and not just a single character before initiative rolls into action.
