    I do. I prefer turn based, it feels like Fallout's conbat system, which I liked, and I can take my time, think about what I want to do, etc.

    It makes it less of a click fest, too, in combat.

    I only use turn-based when I feel the battle is going to be difficult, and a tactical combat would benefit me more. Real-time saves a lot of time and effort as your NPC can quickly dispatch them.

    I use turn based all the time, but then I'm still early on in the game...

    Surely real time combat just turns it into Diablo...?

    not really, mostly before you make 3 kliks the opponents are dead or you're dead.

    I usually go real-time, stand a mile away, fire a million harms and when they come close enough I switch to turn based.

    When you use the real-time you don't have the time to use potions and stuff like that.
    But when you in the turn-based mode every battle is taking forever to finnish(big battles).
    so i use the fast-turn-based. :smile:
