It sucks so much ass. Realtime with “hidden” dnd rules was the way to go.
As somebody who played turn-based RPGs first, I find that real-time with pause RPGs are slow, overly punishing and have no viable way to strategize. I dislike them very much.
It’s not a problem with turn-based, per se. I love Xcom. I finished Expeditions: Rome which is 100% turn-based combat on a grid exactly like BG3 & D:OS I&II. I love D&D rulesets as well. It’s just something about the exact combination of these things in BG3 that really REALLY irks me and prevents me from enjoying the game at all.

Different strokes for different folks I guess
