I just want to take an informal poll: Who prefers turn based combat vs. real time aka Baldur's Gate. I just bought the game a few days ago and because of all the patches I've never had to deal with all the irritating bugs so consequently I can enjoy the game for what it is a fun and exciting CRPG. Back to the question I love turn based combat because it actually gives you a chance to use tactics. Plus the 3.5 edition rules really gives depth to what you can do in combat. Feats are so fun to use and give such personality to your characters. I like that fact that you can make a character as unique as you want without having to worry about restrictions. Right now my favorites that I've created to far are a halfing rogue/druid who weilds a mean short spear and my half-orc fighter who always settles arguments with a warhammer in each hand.
