it has nothing to do with combat.
for example FF . well respected serie, but all in all , its like reading a book . you follow a prewritten line.
in nwn you have a much bigger choice of options.
baldurs gate was a very good example of a good rpg..
saying a good rpg has to be turn based is bs really.
but if you'd deepen a little into what you are saying , it's based on DnD , and it is turn based. it's not click/slash
it's a 6 second turn base combat system. hence the more attacks you get when lvling up , or the abilities like quicken spell. so u get to do more in those 6 seconds.
