well, lets just say, the games and movie industry have their heads up thier posterior orifices, when it comes to knowing what's GOOD and what even sells!
more and more folk are getting sick fed up with Hollywood's pap, it's getting worse, not better.
So, a turn based game could be great, the problem is, Atari had a hand in making Pool of Radiance 2 and ALL the Troika games bomb or have issues, by forcing them out too early and they were horribly unplayably bugged initially.
that is why folk think turn based games won't sell, but many fans want turn based games cause real time D&D blows chunks by comparison
NWN2 is awesome...but the actual game play in combat is...boring:
boom boom slash bang
meh, boring you cna't do real tactics bar simple knockdowns etc. You can pause it but you cannot really control it step by step, see how it's going, and SAVOUR that.
it's not anything like as much fun as TOEE.
However, NWN2 is gorgeously well crafted and plotted.
it's also the only D&D game in town....
so, the view on D&D and RPG vs Turn/Real-time mechanics is badly skewed. Turn based is *IT*, not real time!
