That one orc campaign from the Warcraft 3 expansion that was just a single RPG map felt less like a weird-ass RTS.
Pathfinder: Cuckmaker was embiggened a thousandfold when they stopped copying that old engine and just gave you a turn-based option (which someone has already modded in, but I digress).

The press to pause combat is the absolute worst combat system ever invented for RPGs. There's so much shit that has it, mostly all of that overrated Bioware crap.

Might & Magic and Wizardry rule. MM7 is probably still one of my all time favorite games. It drips with charm and every quest sends you way across the world. Love it.

I bet it's because of normies who think that real-time is more "modern" (but it's prett much crap for anything where you're supposed to control a party of murderhobos).

It's only an illusion of real time anyway. The actual gameplay is turn-based, so you might as well play it that way.

Copy-pasting the D&D system and making it realtime was a mistake. I'm pretty sure Might & Magic allowed you to switch between real- and turn-based years before, whenever you want.
Plus both M&M, Wizardry and really every PC-based D&D dungeon crawler clone lets you create your entire party, usually with much more interesting options than the D&D attempts (you can be a Wookie samurai in Wizardry).

Also M&M and Wizardry are science fantasy of the pulpiest kind, so you can find ray guns and shit.
I do vastly prefer turn-based to real-time. If you have to use autopause then why the fuck not make it turn based anyway.

One of the funnier things about Baldur's Gate 3 is that """purists""" are harping on it for not having their precious shittastic combat system and actually having some sense of turn based combat just like the TtRPG on which the entire damn franchise is based has been played for years.

What are they so mad about? Isn't it basically a total-conversion mod for Divinity: Original Sins?

A desparate attempt to attract the Diablo crowd?

I also much prefer turn based over real time. Real time most of the time is simply not interesting and retarded, like already mentioned forced pause or game being completely automated (like FF13). Why the fuck have that in the first place?
The only time I can think of it kinda works is Planescape Torment. Dragon Age and NWN fucking blows.

I'm enjoying Legend of Grimrock, though. So if you want, you can make it work.

Grimrock is a clone of the old Dungeon Master series, and both make the real-time "work" by having you control the entire party like a single FPS character.
