If you're on PC, just open up the Origin overlay ingame via Shift F1 and it'll pause, even cutscenes. No need to get upset about anything here, this is user-to-user support, not official EA support.,
I'm not sure about consoles, but it should be similar if you press the PS-button on PS3 and likewise on Xbox.
Heck, don't even have to open the Origin Overlay.
(I don't play with Origin running, even though I have it and installed all my BioWare games that way...)
Just hit "Alt-Tab" and go to your desktop! 😕mileytongue:
Or Alt-Tab, but sometimes ME3 crashed for me by doing this, so I didn't want to recommend it and at times the scene progresses a bit before the screen switches.
I've found that Alt+Tab doesn't pause the game, the cut scene continues on in the background.
However the overlay option works great!!
