Pillars of Eternity 1 has the worst gameplay of any of the newer CRPGs I've played. It also has a wonderful story that makes it incredibly worth it.
Maybe I should watch a playthough sometime, because I just couldn't force myself through it
Part of the problem can be solved by whacking the difficulty down to easy, which is what I did. Given that the game is rather famous for its slow opener there are probably videos on youtube explaining how to get the most enjoyment out of the game. IMO it has the best story of any CRPG I've played so I really would recommend it.
Realtime with pause is honestly the worst rpg combat type
I really like rtwp. Turn based starts to feel exhausting after a while for me. Pillars Deadfire has great rtwp combat. They also added turn-based after release.
