Would you prefer if Baldurs Gate 3 was turn-based or real-time?

[mondblut]

To be a good RPG, it should be TB. To be a proper BG sequel, well, it's rather obvious.

 

[Havoc]

Turn Based. Would take Fallout Tactics approach too.

 

[Falksi]

Burnt taste

 

[jaydee2k]

Fuckin TB fags. Can't belive how many codexers are too dumb to play a real time with pause game. Genocide incoming.

Good luck killing us all in shitty RtwP combat.

Don't need luck, you'll be dead long before you figure out how to find your character.

We would dab all over you fucking boomers before you even woke up

"B-BUT IT WASN'T YOUR TURN!!"

 

[Haplo]

I'd like to have a game with encounter design complex, interesting and demanding enough to call for Turn Based.

...of course, I'm gonna end up dissapointed.

I'm a millennial you nitwit! Or a Gen-X. Depends on which news article you ask.

I'd prefer turn based and on a grid like Krondor, but those days are gone. Real time with pause is the only option now because turn based is a turn off to a lot of people, I have seen the comments that prove it. DoS could get away with it because it is low budget for a niche audience. This game will be bigger budget and they will want a bigger audience, and that means it will have to be RTWP.

Not that it matters, you can have a good game with RTWP.

 

[Brainlet2]

I think Larian does TB better, DOS and DOS2 are great, except for the writing

 

[Lilura]

 

[Dawkinsfan69]

I want barrel-based meme combat

 

[ArchAngel]

That one is a bad representation of the real conversation. Who didn't click on him 50+ times to get that 300 xp "free" bonus :D

 

[CoolioMaximus]

Real talk, how much of a chore is it for devs to actually give players the option to switch between TB and RTwP? I was shocked when PoE2 introduced that as an option.

 

[luj1]

34 people actually voted real-time. Why aren't the voting results public, commissar? We have gulags for this kind of offenses.

It's probably doable if they've already got the combat's core mechanics figured out. What's really important is that, assuming they add both as an option, they can add and balance new encounters at the same pace the various combat scenarios are being developed, rather than having to go back and redo all of them at a later point.

Who cares?

It's not using 2.5 or 3.5 A&DnD anyway.

RTWP = zoomer shit

 

[CoolioMaximus]

RTWP = zoomer shit

I feel like 90% of zoomers immediately think of Final Fantasy when they hear TB and the association causes their scrotums/labia to shrivel.

It's surprising, because FF is turn based for button mashing zoomers. I don't like FF's turn based system at all, personally. When I hear "turn based", I mostly think of games like Heroes 3, Disciples 2, Age of Wonders.

 

[DragoFireheart]

RTwP is dumpster fire trash and anyone that says otherwise is a cuck who should commit suicide.

Real RPGs use Turn Based combat.

 

[Quillon]

Real RPGs use Turn Based combat.

Nope, Real RPGs use rockets with explosive warheads.

 

[Galdred]

RTwP would solve D:OS 2 initiative system, and let you fast forward to the step where someone got one of his armor depleted.
It would solve most D:OS 2 combat issues!
