Why this petition matters

Started by Roko M

We hold that those of us who are excited about Baldur's Gate 3 yet would like to experience it in a manner that is commensurate with series standards and precedent ought to come together to voice their support for an optional real-time with pause combat mode (hereafter abbreviated RTwP). The signees of this petition undertake to inform the developers and petitioned companies that:

1) RTwP as a combat mode can evolve and cater to modern gamers' preferences just as much as turn-based combat.

2) From an economic standpoint there is a market big enough to warrant the addition of RTwP that would lead to extra sales as well as offset costs of development.

3) Not all Baldur's Gate fans are necessarily fans of Dungeons & Dragons and vice versa. Although the attempt to hold true to the latter's mechanics and rule set is laudable, developers should not be burdened with having to translate tabletop games onto the computer screen with precision accuracy.

Finally, the petition should not be mistaken for an indictment of turn-based combat. No one fandom is homogeneous to the point of unanimous agreement on what features ought to be considered indispensable with respect to their object(s) of admiration. Likewise, we reject the notion that developing dual combat modes leads to poor sales and/or poor reviews (i.e. correlation is not causation).
