Well, the Icewind Dale series, the Baldur's Gate series and Planescape:Torment all uses the same game engine, that's several top-notch games you miss out on if you can't stand the game mechanics.

You should really try and turn on the autopause feature. It should be in Options->Gameplay->Autopause or somesuch. Try it out, and if you really can't stand it, don't bother to buy any of the games I've mentioned above in this post. They're all that way. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Edit: Forgot to mention; Neverwinter Nights uses a similar system. It's not really a big issue in single player game since you only control one character and have 1-2 more or less uncontrollable henchmen with you. If you play online, you can't pause at all but then you are generally also playing with other players.
