Honestly, BG3 is the least of my problems with this. You know the game that really has this problem? FFXIV. There are cutscenes (or worse, series of cutscenes with no actual pauses between them, just momentary breaks that pass automatically) that go for more than half an hour. Can you skip them? Usually, but then you’ve missed out on a massive chunk of story.
If it’s a single player then I expect every cutscene, conversation, exposition, etc to be pausable.
Looking at you Baldur’s Gate 3.
