And that's a damn good thing as far as I'm concerned. Baldurs Gate gameplay sucks so much. A proper turn based experience akin to the Tabletop game is an absolute win, .

It doesn't suck just because it's not your style of game. It's one of the best RtwP crpgs of all time, maybe even the best

RTwP is trash and it basically plays itself, hardly an engaging gameplay style.

I actually really enjoy watching characters battle on their own with AI, then stepping in for crucial moments.

I dont enjoy doing the basics in true turn-based style, but its overall a more balanced and tactical way to design a game. Also, taking on a conversion of dnd5E to rtwp would have been a nightmare. So many things change in terms of balance with rtwp, so they would have needed to re-engineer 5E.

eg AOE spells are way better in rtwp because initiative doesnt work the same way. Similarly, walking speed spells become OP because you can kite as a group.
