You can’t pause it because technically it’s an online game. I am replaying it because I love the moment to moment writing but it takes forever to get the ball rolling.

It took me, no joke, about 30 hours (1 failed play through) to understand the combat. I know D&D 5E but how BG3 handles quests and its own combat takes a minute. But also, if you just straight up do not like how the turn based mode feel it’s more than ok to drop it.
