Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Mega-threads and Guides The Turn-Based/Real Time with Pause topic

I purchased the game in part BECAUSE of the fact that it promised turn-based game-play. I like being able to choose my party's actions rather than trust them to an AI which either overuse or underuse resources. The real-time-with-pause on prior games is one reason I've enjoyed them less.
