I like detail but I'm not the play fallout on survival mode kind and this game was very much a survival mode type. I like medieval games but that one was a bit much for me. Baldur's Gate I skipped just cause I can't with turn based fighting in. 2024

Well like I said, there are a lot of alternative games out there that are suited to a more casual crowd. It's good that developers still make games like Kingdom Come and Baldur's Gate to provide for players looking for more depth, immersive and engaging content.

Also, turn-based games are timeless, just like many other genres that have been around for 30+ years. I know a bunch of people that would never touched these kind of games and got completely hooked on BG3 anyway. Even myself that was never really into these kind of RPGs and tried Divinity games before, BG3 was absolutely stellar. It's one of those games that set a new standard many others could learn from these days.

I believe it is accurate to say rtwp gameplay came before turn based and that turn based RPGs aren't even that old in the grand scheme of video games. I know it's not for everyone but for me personally if it isn't turn based im way less interested. I'm too old for twitch based gameplay and rtwp feels tedious
