The most fun thing is doing both! I react like you do when I get a message, but I still turn into a puddle of anxiety when I'm left on read for more than 10 minutes.
Hypocrisy is just the best.

One benefit of RTwP is (at least combined with the typically poor AI of the time) that you can sort of get past trash encounters rather quickly. In true turn based there is really no such thing as an easy and quick encounter. Unless you can literally one-shot stuff, I guess.
I had a similar thought while playing through Skald: Against the Black Priory earlier this year. There is something of a best-of-both-worlds about retro feeling and looking games, but without all the retro clunk.
It's beautiful. An elegant vehicle for a more civilised time.
Judging from other comments this is opened up to other games too. So for me:
VTM: Bloodlines and the sewer level.
Two of my favourite games being mentioned? I have been summoned.
Disco Elysium is an absolutely amazing visual novel+. Treat it like a novel whose pages you can read in any order. It doesn't really behave like a classic RPG, the dialogue options are very un-punishing. Feel free to explore them, feel free to be weird, feel free to commit to wacky ideas. The game rewards that. Lastly: the murder case exists as scaffolding, not purpose. Don't tunnel vision on it, enjoy exploring the world building, the characters and the protagonist.
If you're only playing one of those two Fallout games then New Vegas should be a no-brainer, especially if you haven't played its DLCs. Those are, in my opinion, the very best content New Vegas has to offer and should definitely not be missed. Each DLC is extremely different, and they're all so good that I can never decide which is my favourite.
From what we've seen of him in F2 so far Dunne is very fast, but also an absolute menace.
I've just seen both reactions a lot, and it mirrors my own experience. I played DS1 as my first soulslike and it was completely mind blowing. I've seen other streamers have similar experiences. Then I've seen lots of people who got introduced to FromSoft through Elden Ring try DS1 and react with "...that's it?" to all the bosses. It's an unfortunate reality due to the boss design evolving over time.
It's a question I ask often in multiplayer titles, because my experience with most of them is that as long as you play with your friends the actual game doesn't really matter and you could pretty much have a good time goofing off in anything.
There are some exceptions though like Split Fiction.
I like it, but surely Waluigi would be a more appropriate character for Ferrari.
Too true. It's depressing that this is the world we're living in.
