Pillars of Eternity is 10 years old, but the fight over turn-based versus real-time with pause is much, much older.

Coincidentally(?), today Humble launched a bundle that includes both Pillars of Eternity games.

I was going to start PoE on Game Pass soon, but I think real-time with pause was what turned me off of Baldur’s Gate 1 back in the day, so I guess I’ll wait for the patch.

While I do prefer turn-based, I played through Pillars 1 last year, and with the tons of options for auto-pause it wasn’t really that bad. BGEE was also fine, and my problems with the game wasn’t RTwP.
