    I couldn’t with Baldur’s Gate. I don’t know what the hell people are doing playing turn based games in 2024, I hate that so much. I hope elder scrolls doesn’t take too many cues from BG3

      It’s playing a tabletop RPG on your PC… of course it will be turn based. if you haven’t played live DnD before, you should give it a try!

        If I’m playing a table top game I understand it HAS to be turn based. It’s a necessity. But with a video game, turn based is outdated and slows combat to a crawl, and makes it about guessing and mathing instead of actual fighting skill. I personally hate it and the moment I went into my first battle in BG3 and saw it was turn based, I turned it off and never went back

          Not liking it does not mean it’s outdated. There’s a lot of us that like it as the success of XCOM and BG3 show. We’re allowed to like things that you don’t.
