More bullshit. Go replay.BullshitFixed.Arcanum had the shittest combat in any RPG ever
Better than NWN.
NWN has the worst RtwP combat ever. Arcanum has passable turn based and a fast real time mode to get past trash encounters quickly. NWN's combat is tactically poor because you have only one char under your control, and it's slow as fuck in comparison to similar systems (Infinity engine games have much faster-paced RtwP, quicker animations etc, while NWN is horribly slow). I haven't plyed any other game with RTwP that was this much of a drag. No party control makes it worse becaue it means you have little to no tactics, single char D&D dungeon crawling is fucking pointless.
Arcanum has amazing combat in comparison.
Arcanum combat is fucking insanely boring, there is quite simply no depth to it. NWN is about your general strategy and approach to different enemies instead of on the fly tactics, this plays out especially well on persistent worlds or modules where pause function is deactivated. Also fucking OG and expansion campaign dont fucking count, this is 2014, there are plenty of modules that do a better job showcasing NWN fucking combat than those campaigns ever did.
I have played plenty of games with abysmal combat, both RTwP and turn based, NWN is not even remotely as bad as those.
