MODERATORS
I strongly dislike turn-based combat and I would love an option for real time combat. I just want fights to be over, they distract me from enjoying games. With real time combat I just mash the same attacks until it is over. BG3's combat is a fucking chore and it's the only reason I abandoned the game on the second map (in that monastery ruin).
I love the turn based combat but sometimes it does feel like a chore, I wish I could do real time sometimes or purely rules-based AI, and switch to turn-based only when shit goes wrong. For those fights that really do not pose much of a risk and are not that interesting. Someone might say up the difficulty so no fight is trivial, but that can tire one out as well as now every fight can be a major obstacle and sometimes you just want to move the story on a little.
It's a shame no one has implemented the Dragon Age: Origins tactics capabilities for the modern era.
I don't want to fight fights. I want to design characters and strategies and have them fight the fights! With manual control if needed.
Would also have loved a real-time mode i.e. DA:O.
But at the end of the day this is small cheese. They made a DnD game so I can't expect it to not do DnD things, but DnD does some things so poorly (specifically for me: Action/Bonus Action instead of just Action Points) and the magic system (spell slots)
