*sighs* *whoosh!*
Anyhow, the point that I was trying to make here was that Larian hasn't shown any consideration towards their single players. Even the mod communities here have been unable to create a real pause option for any of these engines. That will require Larian showing some mindfulness towards their single player base and putting in a bit of effort.
I don't remember a single point in the game where I would want a pause feature. Cutscenes are short, you can savestate very often and combat is turn based. Care to elaborate how this would be useful?
