using the auto-pause function is extremely useful for targetting characters at range, you can go into options and set teh autopause, i tend to autopause on char death, spell cast, weapon unusable (a holdover from bg1 where weapons would break on you, also useful for ranged weapons), and enemy sighted, may be a few more too... if it autopauses when u see an enemy, it often gives you a chance to target them before they see your character, you can also make frequent use of the spacebar to pause the game for spellcasting and mid-combat order changes, like if you wanted to switch weapons quickly
