Good Day All,
Getting the game tomorrow and i was wondering is this game pause-able........you know you get in a melee and are getting slammed hit the spacebar take a recap of the situation,give an order to your character then unpuase it or is it pure real time?
Thanks,

| Mostly real time, but you can pause. |

The game is mostly real-time, but certain things do pause the action. For instance, you can hit escape to open the Options menu so you can fetch more caffeine 
Also - I've only tried this once, but it /appeared/ that going into the character menus (e.g., inventory) paused the action. I had to switch weapons in the middle of combat, and I didn't notice getting pounded to a pulp while I was doing it. Take that one with a grain of salt, though.

Yeah going into your character menus does pause the game. Thus the reason I don't even screw with healing spells in combat, I just stock up on potions. When I get low in health I go into the menu, down 3-4 of them if they are less than standard ones (yes the increase over time on them is additive), then jump back in combat mode. VERY nice, thanks you Bethsoft.
