There is a way to pause in the inventory screen in BG I, but you have to be in multiplayer mode. The game stays paused when you open the inventory screen if you are in multiplayer mode. You can still play solo in multiplayer, though, if you import only your own character, then get the NPC's you want to join the party normally. The only difference is when you load a game, you go to another screen and have to reselect all the players and NPC's in your party again, then hit done and the game loads.
I wish there were bags of holding, or scroll cases or ammo belts etc also. Without them, I end up going back to towns much more frequently to sell off excess items.
