    I never got very good at it. I feel like they were worried that not enough people enjoy turn-based combat these days and were trying to spice it up.

    I love turn-based combat though and think it would’ve been just fine without the additions.

      Well for me it’s the other way around. I can’t stand turn based combat, it’s an instant turn-off, but E33 spiced it up just enough for me to enjoy it

        Never enjoyed turn based combat either, but I’ve been playing baldur’s gate 3 and the story has pulled me through. I’ve actually started enjoying the combat.

          Same for BG3, but I ended up liking the combat a lot. Going back to Pillars of Eternity afterwards felt bad 😅 but it’s a different kind of turn-based altogether, with positioning being extremely important

          I seem to only really like turn based when its simultaneous. Like paradox games, CDDA and dwarf fortress.
