well said. In BG2, the inventory screen pauses the game, but not in BG1. As Volo says in the manual (at least along these lines), "Try changing your armor while you're on the run!"
The idea in BG1 to un-pause the game while looking at your inventory makes sense. How can you change your armor or change your weapons without spending any time? I suppose that in BG2, there were just so many items that they had to pause it to make the game more playable.
