Good day! I'm quite excited to see BG3's release approaching quickly! The first two titles remain amongst my favorites, though I exploited the hell out of the auto-pause options, so I really played all of the Infinity titles in turn-based already. The earlier titles had mod communties at several different sites, but, more recently, it's been reasonably easy to get in touch and find mods all with the Beamdog forums. I've asked various questions about modding DoS, DoS2, and BG3 here at these forums, at the Steam forums, and at the Reddit page, but it's been very difficult to find anyone with any experience in these things? For years now, just as an example, I had been repeatedly told that a real hard pausing option just wasn't something Larian had been capable of providing with these engines. This feedback was mostly from players, though, not modders who would have any real experience in knowing how these things work. Can anyone point me in the right direction to ask questions of BG3's mod community, please? Very specifically, I'm wondering if (now knowing that real pause options exist), if it would be possible for any modders to create any of the auto-pause options that are available in the original titles. Things that will auto-pause DoS, DoS2, or BG3 when events that occur in real time trigger them? Something like this would be beyond me, but I know that it should be possible now. Other than myself, would there be any draw for modders to create real pausing options for the single players?

Larian hopes to release official modding tools but that decision isn’t up to them. However you’ll still find mods on nexus.

As for the real time with pause questions you do realise the combat in this game is fully turn-based, right?

Thank you for the replies! I'm familiar with how pressing escape and/or entering full turn based mode works, thank you. Neither of those actions is capable of performing a full and proper pause, though, as a good number of things are still happening in real time. I'm hoping to find someone qualified that might be able to create a mod similar to how "Game Pauser by Jase" works as a utility from Steam. My limited testing with that utility has found it to fully pause Baldur's Gate 3 in its entirety. Knowing, though, that full pausing is something that is possible here, I'm hoping that anyone might expand upon the ability and get it to work properly to auto-pause for several possible triggers that can happen in real time. I very well may have missed the options for real pausing here, but I didn't see it possible, for instance, to fully and immediately pause everything when a trap is sighted. I've used the Nexus for multiple titles, though, and had completely overlooked that they have forums for each title. Unless proper modding is fully supported here, that will likely be my best bet. Thank you again.
