I learned too late that the menu doesn’t actually pause BG3. Turn based mode will pause the world in a bubble around you, but NPCs will still carry on their patrols and conversations outside of that bubble. So don’t just open the menu and walk away, thinking you’re safe. Put it on turn based mode. I experienced a total party kill because I thought it was paused when we were standing in fire. LOL
This is one more thing I like about singleplayer BG3. Even in the middle of a fight I can get up and do whatever.
