[QUOTE="pukunui, post: 9734574, member: 54629"] Real Time with Pause can be nice, but I'm more of a FPS gamer myself, so I prefer that style even in CRPGs. Like with the various Dragon Age games, I pretty much never use the tactical combat stuff. I'll press pause occasionally but mostly I just play out combats hack-n-slash style. Same with my Fallout 4 playthroughs. I only really use VATS to help me locate hiding enemies. I don't like the targeting system so never really bother with that aspect of it. Yeah, no, I just don't want turn-based combat in a visual medium. It's tolerable when I'm playing at the table with minis or a digital map with tokens because real time combat just isn't feasible there, but not when I'm playing a computer game. I want to feel that "heat of the moment" / "seat of your pants" real time feel. It makes me feel like I'm really there. Turn-based combat just takes me out of the moment too much. I guess maybe I also enjoy testing my reflexes more than I enjoy being strategic? I'm very much a "kick in the door" / "leap onto the back of the dragon" action hero kinda guy. [/QUOTE]
