Man, that post sure gave me a flashback. The last time I played through BG1 - and the first time I actually finished it - was about a year ago. Currently trying my hands at IWD1 for the first time and either I got much worse at these kind of games or IWD is significantly harder. Sure, there were a few challenging fights in BG1 but IWD just constantly kicks my ass and I am still pretty much in early game. Dragon's Eye made me rage quit twice already, I don't remember any fights in BG giving me such a hard time.
I was never really bothered by RTWP (nor did I follow all those in depth discussions about RTWP vs. Turn Based) but IWD really made me think for the first time that maybe TB is in fact better. I guess because IWD fights are harder and require a larger amount of micromanagement which results in me constantly hitting pause, which can get really annoying, particularly if the unpausing is followed immediately by an auto-pause due to whatever trigger I set.
