Crewdroog: So, Humble posted Banner Saga for their bundle and it got me thinking. I really dislike turn based games. However, I am a huge fan of RPGs, so I feel like I should like it b/c, well, history.
Am I not understanding some element that makes it enjoyable? Is there some game that might change my mind?
If anything I guess list your favorite and I'll look it up and maybe try it.
Usually what turns me off is that they are not very strategic for a long while. They tend to take too long to get you into the flow of things.
On the opposite end of that spectrum is Temple of Elemental Evil. It's very tactical and you will die a lot learning how to play. But it's my favorite TB game.
Divinity: Original Sin is looking like it will be a great TB game, too.
All in all, if it's not your cup of tea, then it's not your cup of tea.
