BG2 system was also turn based, it just remembered previous command you issued and repeated it, and didn’t pause automatically after every turn.

- Jensson 5y agoYou could dodge spells in BG2 as they have travel time, you can't dodge spells in a normal turn based system. Also spells have different casting times, some cast instantly others were so slow that people could walk up and hit you before the cast got done. There are many such differences, BG2 is in no way a turn based game. Its real time combat did simulate turns for spell and attack cooldowns etc, but even those weren't properly aligned to turns, a spell cast time could take a fraction of a turn, and travel time for spells were also fractions of turns etc. So wasn't turn based no matter how you view it.
