Combat is completely different in BG3. I don't know why people keep comparing it to real time with pause games, they're practically different genres.
True, although combat is only one aspect of BG3, I'm mostly referring to storytelling and depth of decision making. Tbh I typically avoid combat in EA if I can't one-shot everything (playing a very squishy Elder One Warlock for whom constitution is his dump stat). There are similarities though (DAO is largely turn-based RTP combat, whereas BG3 is totally turn-based. If you pause enough, DAO slows down enough to become pure turn-based).
