Pause game during dialogue

[thecowgummi]

I don't know anything about modding myself, so I'm just going to ask: Would it be possible to make a mod that would pause everything else in the world during dialogues, like it used to be in Fallout New Vegas for example?

 

The fact that everything keeps running in the back while talking glitched stuff out countless times... I've had to repeat conversations so many times because somebody pushed my conversational partner away or whoever I'm trying to talk to just won't stop walking themselves, constantly cancelling dialogue if they get too far away..

I honestly don't have a clue what Bethesda were thinking when they implemented that feature, it is completely broken. It annoys the crap out of me.

 

If anyone could actually bring the game-pausing dialogue back that person would be my hero!

definitely. the feature gets a 9 out of 10 for realism but a 1 out of 10 for convenience

I'm assuming that pausing the game for dialogue would be easier to make than fixing all the various issues like NPCs deciding to initiate a chat in the middle of a gunfight or while sneaking around, NPCs walking into each other and knocking somebody out of conversational range (causing the other party in the conversation to usually assume that you'd rudely brushed them off) or multiple people all trying to talk to you at the same time while ignoring each other

This is important question because for example my english is not good, so most of the time ı play fallout 4 ı have to stop game and try to translate some word ı dont know. But when I press ESC during dialogue, dialogue goes. So I cant translate it. ..
