I know that it's likely an engine limitation, but we really need a hard pause option that can be forced at any time during the single-player experience. Turn based mode doesn't fully pause the entire world. Hitting escape doesn't fully pause the world. As someone who needs to take frequent and urgent breaks, I need a simple hard pause that will immediately pause the entire game. You know, like every other gaming developer has featured in their single player experiences? Yes, I can completely quit out of the game to truly pause the entire game, but this is pretty cumbersome and needlessly so. Just allow a hard pause that completely and instantly stops the entire game. Allow it for dialogue and cutscenes, too, please. If it's something that Larian absolutely refuses to have available for any of their single player elements, at least, let modders do the work for you, please.
