To be honest, that's what's turning out to be my biggest hassle in W&W so far: getting used to the combat system.
The majority of my gaming has been turn-based and phased-combat RPGs, and the 'Adaptive Time-Phasing' system in W&W is driving me nuts.
To me, it feels more like arcade style 'clickity-click' than any kind of turn-based system.
I was investigating a room in the crypt, and some monsters charged in and started attacking my party. Before I even got to do anything about it, one of my characters was dead.
Similar things have happened before.
If the problem is that my chararacters are low level and are just a lot slower than the monsters right now, I can live with that: level them up, increase their Agility, etc. and the problem solves itself.
But if the problem is the reaction time, reflexes, etc. of the guy at the keyboard, then W&W and I aren't going to get along too well.
I do enjoy planning, tactical combat, thinking things out, etc. in games. But when my reflexes, speed, etc. are a significant factor in a game I just get bored and frustrated.

While I'm thinking about timing: what's the best way to pause the game? I've already discovered that opening up inventory, looking at the map, etc. don't work. [img]smile.gif[/img]
Right now I either go to the Options menu or the Save game menu, both of which do seem to stop the game. Are those the standard solutions, or is their a better way of putting the game on hold?
