No, I tried to play the original Baldur's Gate and just found the battles chaotic. I know you're supposed to use the pause button to change tactics practically every turn in order to survive, but then they may as well have just made the combat turn-based rather than this chaotic pseudo-realtime stuff. I got to some quest in the original Baldur's Gate where you had to kill some Spiderwoman in a cave or something and just quit, it got annoying. All these people fighting with no idea what they're doing half the time.
