In Divinity, my friends and I would occasionally reload when it felt like someone had picked a story path we didn't want to go down-Steven, you know what you did and you should still feel bad-but for the most part we rolled with whatever happened. I'm psyched for the time saving this promises, but I also think it's going to make multiplayer more fun, too. In Baldur's Gate 3, all four co-op partners will be able to move their characters at the same time, take actions, then end the turn and let the AI get mean. But they're rarely multiplayer, which is why this is a big deal coming from Original Sin 2. Plenty of turn-based games have used this setup over the years. You get a turn and move all your units, and then the enemy AI takes a turn, and so on. The new "simultaneous turn-based" system isn't exactly a revolutionary idea. I'm relieved that for Baldur's Gate 3, Larian came up with a speedier solution.

It was mostly fun, but still led to plenty of "Oh, it's my turn? Oops" moments that just added to the delay. Sometimes a dozen enemies get pulled into an encounter across a large area, so my friends and I would spend an hour tactically thinking our way through them. But the turn-order design also means that, in co-op play, you spend most of a fight doing nothing, just waiting for your turn.Īnd those fights can be long. I really like the layer of strategy this brings to combat. It lets you focus down and kill enemies who may have a turn coming up sooner, or hit them with attacks that delay when they'll get to move. This is tracked with a turn order timeline along the top of the screen, which does play into the combat strategy in some interesting ways. In both the Divinity: Original Sin games, every character in a fight, friend or foe, gets a dedicated turn.
