Baldur's Gate Baldur's Gate 3: Combat System Poll

[Doktor Best]

They should do what they are inspired to do, and fucking FOcUS on it (no, encounter design that works for one mode does not work for the other equally well), and do a great job. I did not see such an option in the poll.

They choose TB? Design the fucking encounters around TB. They should be fun to play when TB.

They choose RTwP? Design the encounters around RTwP. Make absolutely sure they are fun when played as RTwP.

But don't fucking mix them up. IF you do mix them up and fail, I will be dancing on your grave.

I tend to agree, but your statement doesn't lack a certain ironic aftertaste due to your avatar picture.

I still think there is a chance someone can pull off a decent hybrid combat system, but a whole lot of design effort would have to flow in that direction.

If you really want to cater to some aged 40 years olds that never played action games and have no reflex remaining, at least make it TB.
RTWP is the most shitty combat system ever created. If the game poses a decent challenge you cannot play as a real time, and need to constantly freeze the game mid action, thus breaking any leftover of immersivity. At least in TB you can actually enjoy the animations and the fight.
I seriously had more fun playing some gamebooks, than playing rtwp.

Guess which part of Arcanum I do not like.

I would prefer it be turn-based, but I'm guessing it's more like Dragon Age: Origins.
