Baldur’s Gate 3 fans roast player who says turn-based combat makes game “boring”
The Baldur’s Gate 3 community blasted someone for calling the game’s turn-based combat mechanics “boring.”
Akin to Larian Studios’ last title, Divinity: Original Sin II,Baldur’s Gate 3 features turn-based mechanics. Instead of real-time combat like The Witcher games, turn-based battles pause the action, giving each opponent a chance to perform offensive and defensive tactics.
Baldur’s Gate 3’s meteoric success suggests many people are fond of this style of gameplay. However, it’s safe to say that some prospective players were turned away by the combat style.
While everyone has their own opinions, Baldur’s Gate fans couldn’t abide one person, in particular, who called turn-based games “boring.”

Lots of commenters in the thread called the hot take a “bad idea.” Many argued that either players “meet [Baldur’s Gate 3] where it’s at,” or play something else. Others agreed with the original poster, though, saying they also walked away from Baldur’s Gate 3 because of the turn-based combat.
What especially landed Synth Potato in hot water is their reason for not liking the title’s mechanics. When asked why they can’t get into turn-based games, theTwitter user responded, “they’re boring.” It didn’t take long for the gloves to come off.
