Pause battle and free camera movement

[Wotann]

This is something I'm missing in the Mount and Blade games

It's the possibility to pause the game in the middle of the action of battles, and the ability to then move the camera around freely to take cool screenshots.
As it is now, the best you can do is just slow the battle down (in WF&S) but I want a n ability to fully freeze the action and move the camera around freely to get the best possible angles of what's happening on the battlefield so it can be shown to posterity in the manner of screenshots.

You can pause the game if you have Cheat Mode enabled (from the config menu in the launcher). I believe the key is F11 or Ctrl-F11.
A number of mods offer "custom cameras" or the like that give you this free movement.

I agree that incorporating those time and camera controls directly into an interface for M&BII would be a good idea.
