Thanks Farflame!Turn Based Mode in Pillars of Eternity II offers players a new way to experience the game. It's exactly as it sounds. Each character in the combat is placed into an initiative order. As such during each character's turn they can perform an action and a movement. This will feel familiar to players who play Dungeons and Dragons. The only major change to that formula that each round a new initiative is created and the turn order will change as combat progresses. This does slow down the combat significantly as you only have to worry about one character at a time. This could be very useful and preferable for players who feel overwhelmed by the frenzy that is the traditional gameplay.
