I couldn't with Baldur's Gate. I don't know what the hell people are doing playing turn based games in 2024, I hate that so much. I hope elder scrolls doesn't take too many cues from BG3
It's playing a tabletop RPG on your PC... of course it will be turn based. if you haven't played live DnD before, you should give it a try!
If I'm playing a table top game I understand it HAS to be turn based. It's a necessity. But with a video game, turn based is outdated and slows combat to a crawl, and makes it about guessing and mathing instead of actual fighting skill. I personally hate it and the moment I went into my first battle in BG3 and saw it was turn based, I turned it off and never went back
Did you ever try Baulders Gate 2?
Never heard of the series till the new one really, maybe vaguely a while back
