I get the pause when I click a skill and when it's loading cutscenes. I just figure that's the way it is - probably because that's just the way it is.

Back in the days of Commodore 64 I used to dream about games like Divinity 2.

Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift, That's why it's called the present.
