  Nice, i love turn based RPGs. They didn't have to do this yet they did. Respect.

  its a way to make the game easier I guess, though after I killed that huge borrowbug with a lvl 6 party, taht certainly would make the whole fight a lot easier

  FOR HONOR, FOR FREEDOM.... and for some money.

  Changes things for me, honestly. Pause is kind of annoying, honestly it feels like cheating to me. Having an actual turn based system is very cool - as much as I liked Baulder's Gate back in the day, it just doesn't suit the way I like to play in 2019.

  Doesn't it have pause like PoE1 does? That's essentially the same thing, if not easier. With turn-based combat your choices are locked in. Using Real-Time with Pause lets you adjust for any situation. If you see a caster begin or melee move to close ranks, you can adjust. It's only challenging when real time systems only have time-slowing mechanisms without a pause function.
  
  In my opinion this series should have been turn-based as a default from the beginning. It's good they added it.

  I would've disliked default turn-based combat, but completely agree it's awesome they added it.
  
  Obsidian proves themselves dedicated to their fans once again.  They and Larian are pretty good examples of studios that still seem "in it" for the passion as much as the dough.

  Hallelujah! I managed to play a third of my way through before uninstalling mainly due to their combat. I really enjoyed DOS2 turned based combat so it's time to reinstall and have another go at the game.
  
  Thanks Devs!

  I wish Pathfinder Kingmaker was turn based too, last day I was looking for mods (one can dream) for this purpose, I can't stand this pause and play style anymore. NWN 2 was the last I tried and it is not the same thing for me.
  
  In turn-based style everyone act in his own turn, you can be very tactical and precise.
  
  In real time everyone moves together, AI is terrible and most of the time you need to "fix" whatever they're doing.
  
  I don't like it, turn-based sounds better for this kind of games to me. If I want action, I want to move my character in the very best possible way, not babysitting a bad AI and fixing wrong positions through pause and play every time.

  I agree.  Every time I play a real-time RPG with pausing, I feel like I'm just constantly correcting my party's mistakes.  I find it very annoying and frustrating.  Hey, I want to be the one making the mistakes!

  The greatest thing about Pillars is that you can literally fine-tune your companions' combat responses.  It's a glorious thing watching your AI companions fulfill their roles effectively without having to select every single one and give orders every few seconds.
  
  Being able to largely just play my created character as a part of the group is amazing for immersion (for me).

  I very much enojoyed the turn based gameplay of Temple of Elemental Evil, I hope it's like that.
