I am accustomed to BG2- if you are in the middle of a fight and you open your inventory, the game is paused.. is there some way to make it like that in BG1? Sometimes i need to pop more arrows into the quiver, or replace a weapon that broke ( very annoying- and only seems to happen when i have NO replacement).. but the battle goes on - game NOT paused if i have inventory open!

Not as far as I know

Unfair really - your enemies won't stop fighting while you rummage through your inventory ;)

I read somewhere that it can be done, by starting a single player multiplayer game (is this an oxymoron?).
Haven't tried it myself tho', so I can't vouch for it.

Yes, if you play in multiplayer mode the game remains paused when you go into the inventory screen.

I don't think you can but I've played a multiplayer game and you can.
