Good day! Since the Larian team has been absolute and very consistent with their refusal to give single players any real pausing options, I thought that I would share this gem of a utility that is available at Steam. I've used it to fully and completely pause BG3EA, where I had been repeatedly told that this wasn't something that was possible for Larian titles. I haven't fully tested it and I didn't think to try it during any of the cutscenes, but it claims that it should work there, too. BG3EA did crash a few times for me when I used this tool, too, but my system specs are currently below the recommendations, so those crashes might not be related to using the tool. Your mileage may vary. Thank you, Jace!
