With the whole rest to recover actions and illithid power

[Reset]

+ tiptoeing around character impressions and having to pass multiple die checks instead of simply having the appropriate skill, I think the game has become less fun and more tiring than DOS2, even though it is better in other aspects. You?

i hate the whole rest thing that's why i got the mod that refreshes everything after combat. Made the game way more enjoyable for me, that's why at lunch i will only play it with mods like max lvl 20 and the all slots refresh after combat etc.

Why not just mod in godmode at that point. No point in playing dnd if you can't deal with resource management.

You could not meta game so much? Just do what you want to do and let things happen.

The "resource management" is a joke. You're never in a situation where you're low on camping supplies. I've full rested after pretty much every major fight in the game. My supply is still nearly 1000.

All it's doing at this point is forcing you to stop whatever you're doing ingame to initiate loading screens and cutscenes, just to get your abilities back. And you have to do that every 15-20 minutes.

Man, I hate DnD mechanics. Sucks they have them in this DnD game. Honestly why isn't it an FPS?

[Lord Adorable]

I dunno man, I like having D&D mechanics in my D&D game.

That's how I was playing, but after the game told me resting affected even the dialog... I don't know, something just felt wrong.

Or, yknow, you could conserve resources to not have to rest that much

Me bout to generate literally infinite spellslots on a sorc by going in and out of combat repeatedly because my resources refresh

I completed the entire EA and reached level 5 in 3 days. That's only 3 rest cycles.

You and I are not the same. I live for the challenge of not rest spamming, you treat it like Baldur's Gate 1 and 2.

While I did complain about the die mech, it is mostly related to whole animation time consuming process being tiring, so you are free to have your D&D mechanic, I don't mind it existing as much as I mind it being so frequent.

You know you can skip all the diceroll animations, right?

Resting just moves some things along storywise. Mostly companion stuff and tadpole stuff if you're using it.

As a bit of an aside I just learned not long ago that people in your party complaining about being tired means that someone has something to say back at the camp.

long rest lets your camp evolve and u can chat it up with your companions and pets not to mention withers
