    I think realtime is great! I spend about half the game in realtime, and switch depending on the situation...

    I also don't know why people call realtime a Diablo-like click fest - one click and your character keeps on attack until you click somewhere else...sometimes you auto attack, which can be good, but it can also suck, as with other things.

    I personally think (and I'm guilty of this) that turn-based is open to abuse - the good old stand-behind-wall-move-out-shoot-move-back-while-they-spend-all-their-turns-moving-up-just-to-die is very unrealistic I believe...still, for control and orchestration of a battle, I prefer turn-basd.

    As to how to survive, that depends on your situation? Do you have many followers, or few. Are you a melee character or range? Are you technological or magickal. Diplomat or figher. More details are required for more specific advice :smile:.

    I am magickal with no followers.
    I´m not a diplomat, I kill everybody that are no good for me.

    I´m level 12 and use harm and disarm alot.
    had never die so far in turnbased, but you know how it´s end in realtime.

    *holding a coffiee mug* yeeeaaaah, your gonna want to stick to turn based with a char like that. Or maybe you could get dog. that'd buy you some time in battle to be able to perform some quick moves.
