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.
