Kefka, you must realize, that Tri despises the IE/NWN/KOTOR style of pause n play that BIO specializes in. In fact, BG1 which he does like, he basically likes because it has empty screens that you can explore freely in spite of the combat. He just doesn't like kind of conmbat yet he continues to buy games that feature it..
Plus, in Tri's mind... turn base combat = role-playing
