I like turn-based combat, but The Witcher is more better CRPG, than Dragon Age. Combat is not most important if you play CRPG. Of course somebody can forget about plot and personality. But I can't, so I wait the Wicher 2.
D:O had typical story and very long, monotonous combat (it is not difficult). If I want turn-based combat I will play Baldur's Gate or Wizardry 8. These endless darkspawn is so boring.

I said incorrectly. Turn-based and game with "pause" were together. I do not speak English good and I tried speak laconically.
Also Dragon Age is not turn-based. And question "Yes, what do you want? Turnbased Dragon Age combat or Twitcher clickfest or both, the choice is yours." is not correct.
Dragon Age have same combat, as BG.

Why won't people stop calling RTwP turn-based :(

Err.. because RTwP is turn based?

Unless you're talking about those older games that attempted to imitate Bioware's combat system but had to apply a pause after every move as to disguise their shitty combat animations.

I did’t remember this term in English, that is why I put’em together. I think that they are different systems: turn-based (Fallout 1-2, Wizardry) and RTwP (BG, Planescape). But both systems have right to life. Of course this is true in other systems. The Witcher had got action combat, but this didn't stop it from becoming one of the best CRPGs.

Turn-based = opponents take turns or at the very least combat is divided into discrete turns. If you have to add "with pause" anywhere, it is not turn-based.

Why is it so fucking hard to understand?

Also, is there anything about Derp Age 2 suggesting it might not suck?

Bioware has not mentioned fellatio as some sort of special move during sex cutscenes soooooo...
