Baldur's Gate 3 But It's In Real Time (No Turn-Based)

[@PandaCake978]

Imagine playing these encounters at a table with pen and paper. Just everyone talking over each other while constantly rolling dice.

[@specific_pseudonym]

There's actually a tabletop RPG that does away with explicit turn-based mechanics. Obviously there's some limits imposed by the fact that the DM can only acknowledge/keep track of so many things, but every action (and their damage) is handled by rolling a pair of d6s - and in practice, the flow is largely dictated more by theatrical descriptions of actions than by anything else. Silly nonsense like one player catapulting another through the air for a ridiculous attack goes much more smoothly than in 5e for example. Can't remember the name of it for the life of me though.

[@fivefivestix]

If anyone wants to try to circumvent the problem of the simplistic AI there is a mod called AI Allies that lets you assign archetypes to your companions(Healer, Buffer, Frontline, etc.) which depending on the archetype chosen can make one companion more likely to use support spells, the other more likely to melee, one more likely to heal, etc.

This mod really does just confirm my thoughts about just how unforgiving and snappy BG3 fights actually are when you translate them to real time.

[@doritochip1381]

The most unhinged bg3 video I’ve ever seen congratulations.

[@Onebadterran]

This feels like a mod that needs to be paired with expanding the party size. You can run around with a small army

[@DiogenesMan]

You should do a “become what you kill” challenge. Anything you kill in combat you become it in the middle of combat. Start as a paladin, then become a goblin, then become the netherbrain.

[@DevsClips]

I love how chaotic this mod is. When you just straight up jumped Baalthazar I think the air left my body entirely

[@bunnyboygamille]

I was never gonna use this mod because I didn't want to deal with the level of chaos. But I was curious how it would play out. So thank you, Bouch, for giving into the urge to try out ridiculous things in BG3 once more!

[@heartoffire5902]

With significantly more development and much bigger changes to how the game functions and behaves, this could be a fun alternative way to play the game. It'll be interesting to see how it evolves.

[@lemonaut1]

using spore servant on the Nightsong for an unkillable companion is so OP. the death ward trick that is specific to this exact scenario is hilarious too

[@morph3630]

I've never played a game with turn-based combat so I thought that I wouldnt like it - but I love how slow-paced it is so it doesnt stress me at all (which is what I need right now from a game)

[@ChengTeoh]

I've always wondered what the game would've been like if it wasn't turn-based. Thank you for making this a reality Mr. Modder. Really hope that it'll eventually make it to the PS5.

[@ghostlyswat12]

Honestly I think this mod needs 3 main things 1 a pause button (this makes combat easier) 2 better party ai /ai in general 3 the ability to use spells than need to be used in combat in real time combat

[@dotXyore]

The first one completely defeats the purpose of real time combat. The best choice, which I don't know if it would even be possible, is to add some sort of slowdown.

[@Vassilinia]

Number 3 is a pretty huge thing to not have in the game. 😥

[@ghostlyswat12]

@@dotXyore I mean for the main part every other dnd game that has real time combat has a pause button Either a pause or a slo down option it doesn’t matter but it’s a nice option either way

[@lukas8708]

they could've added a button that speeds up enemy turn by x2 at least...

[@Skinnypete38]

the original 2 baldur's gate games were real time but they also had a pause button so you could plan your actions during combat.

[@astronaut7796]

​@@lukas8708I have no problem with the speed, but makes sense especially in Act 3, because the enemy encounters become way too much for me especially when they bring their own summons in Act 3 and I just have four party members waiting for their turn after 5-7 Combat Rounds.

If you can't queue the actions, this could become a nightmare in overwhelming and crowded fights. In action RPG, the player characters are all designed to overpower in the mobs in a cheating ways so they don't die too quick. Or the mobs are designed to be really stupid so they don't one shot the players.

[@rat_dragon]

Nettie knows how it's done! "Sit: Chair" is the most OP ability in the game lol Also without this mod, by far the easiest way to kill Raphael for me is globe of invulnerability, ranged attacks within it, shove on the cambions that walk inside it, and a persuasion check so Yurgir joins our side

Funnily enough, this is actually a return to form. The original Baldur’s Gate games did not have turn based combat but rather real time gameplay with the option to pause at any moment and assign orders. If they implemented a pause feature, it’d work perfectly fine. There have even been a few modern rpgs with these features like the Pathfinder games and Pillars of Eternity.

[@cata1yct]

This is the craziest run ive ever seen so far

[@finn_underwood]

Video idea: Calculating the minimum number of dice rolls it would take to beat the game. This means you need to avoid dice checks wherever possible, and for an extra challenge have all dice be nat 1s so you can find the guaranteed maximum lowest number of dice rolls. I imagine routing could be an interesting challenge - suddenly buried chests become landmines with those survival rolls. Presumably you'll add a stipulation like ignoring enemy rolls (or get a mod which sets all enemy rolls to auto win) because otherwise that sounds helish to track.

[@thealiengreen]

that glut tech sounds incredibly fun, I always wanted to get him out of there since so far I have only been messing around with him in the underdark, I have used Anders as a spore servant since he can still use divine smites and he has extra attack so i essentially get a free level 5 paladin, and i have also used it on dror ragzlin and sarth baretha, but now i can try with even more enemies

[@Ratty524]

What I’ve liked about the turn based combat is that it allows you to chill and have an easier time setting up complex strategies like barrelmancy cheese stuff and enemies playing around their environment. The real time combat kind of makes that stuff ridiculously hard to pull off and kind of reduces everything to “bonk them before they bonk you.” It’s hilarious to watch but I would never play it cause of the undermining of complexity.

[@haihuynh8337]

You can do it with real time combat with pause and action queue. Basically, you pause the combat, entering tactics overview. You then plan the move for the whole team, predicting possible moves of the enemies. Then hells let loose. Turn-based battle is fun with friends but it's boring against AI. Everything is too slow and unfair in turn-based combat. Imagine that in a boxing match, just because you have 1 less point of initiative (over 100 for example), you get a full beaten from your opponent. In real combat people throw punches at each other in a split second, not turn-by-turn.
