I'm personally quite happy it's more like divinity. I kept wanting to like the games you listed, but the AI was so bad that you simply couldn't just let your other party members do their own thing, so you basically either had to play on faceroll difficulty or embrace what is quite possibly the worst combat system of all time: real time with pause. If I have to constantly spam the pause key and hop around to make sure things are set up properly, it might as well be turn-based. Full real time action or actual turn-based gameplay are much preferred. Originally Posted by ParanoiD84

You can do the same thing in Warhammer fights. I like it myself. From a strategic view, it certainly is helpful. There is always the option not to use it however if one prefers. Originally Posted by BeepBoo

Real time with pause is miserable in hard fights, and good for quick/easy fights. Turn based being the opposite. At least imo. I prefer turn based. Originally Posted by BeepBoo

Ya, and like I said, you can switch between the 2 modes on the same playthrough. I'm not sure if it's just a hit a button kind of switch, or what, but ya. Originally Posted by Mrbleedinggums

I've read that their turnbased mode is better than the one added to Pillars 2, because DnD lends itself well to being turnbased, and PoE2 was obviously not designed at first with that in mind.

I didn't actually know kingmaker added turn-based combat. Now I want to give it another try!

Ya I just stumbled upon it myself. I heard alot of reporting when they added turn based to PoE2, but nothing about kingmaker. Originally Posted by BeepBoo

I don't think they really advertised it greatly, in the kickstarter for KM2 they talked about how it would have Turn based options, and in that post is where they said they were adding it to the original. Originally Posted by Hinastorm

Because it's a fan mod, not an officially released feature. It's been here for some time. Originally Posted by Hinastorm

Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.

I got Icewind Dale 2 from GoG and had zero problems with running it. Originally Posted by Nymrohd

Well, GoG makes sure that their games will run, with more or less extra steps required. But all GoG Black Isle games were always fire-and-play for me. Originally Posted by Nymrohd

Plenty of mods out there, one of them creates a fully fledged set of companions, with characters and dialogues. Originally Posted by Nymrohd

Yeah the recent turn-based addition to Pathfinder Kingmaker is an official one from the developers themselves. It's listed in one of the recent patch notes that came out. Originally Posted by Hinastorm

Daemos already corrected it, but for posterity. Originally Posted by Makabreska

I haven't played past Act 1 much so I don't know if I'd consider that 'very late in the game'.
As an example, in a game like Dragon Age Origins/2/Inquisition/Mass Effect 1 (haven't played the other ME games) there's essentially a consistent cast of characters that the protagonist can take along with them pretty much all the way to the end of the game, in which you can do all companion quests as well in a single playthrough.
Thus why DOS2 was the most surprising with its companions, because you literally cannot complete every companion's story/quest in a single playthrough.
