I realize that we're in very early access, but I wonder if some of us are playing entirely different games. Entering turn-based mode in the current EA version of BG3 that I'm playing, does *not* pause much of the world around my characters. I certainly don't know much about coding or engine limitations, but I'm not seeing why adding a standard user-controlled pause in a game that does have some pausing would be so extremely difficult to implement. Has no one here ever played any type of strategic game, including the original BG games, that has player-controlled pausing? Player-controlled pausing and queuing of actions is pretty standard across the industry. I'm unsure why it's hated so much by DoS creators and fans.
