That I blame on Diablo … my wife bought it for me, I did the grind for a while and got utterly bored, and since it was the 'Hot New RPG (tm)' in '96, I decided … "I guess I don't like RPG". Silly me.

Another thing - I don't consider the partition as simplistic as TB vs. RT = cerebral vs. reflex. Real time action requires considerable thought as well, and your decision making can often be more important in the outcome of a battle than your reflexes in a FPS.

I still think that the worst is real-time party based as exemplified in Vampire: Redemption.
