camping is horrible

[Sangra69]

How come you just couldn't keep it like the old way? You have to go and ruin it. It seems harder just to add a secondary character. I guess someone wanted a promotion. lol

Above all, camping is fun! Even after 1000 hours, I keep finding new funny sayings, wisdom and battles of words. :)

What? What are you finding difficult about the camping system?

[ajfusch]

Yep, elaborate? The only change as far as I can see is that you don't need any rations anymore. Which, yay?

But you have the corruption mechanic. So far I haven't had issues with it, but I can see how others might.

Hmm, I honestly can't see it. I only ever had to deal with corruption debuff once in all of my first playthrough and so far (late Act 3) never in my second. That's what the rituals at camp, relic cleansing and teleporting the party are for. Works fine for me.
Is it stronger at higher difficulties maybe? (I played on normal, now daring).

The point of that is to stop you from resting after every single fight. This works exactly like the old rations did.

The game is quite generous when it comes to corruption (e.g. you can reset corruption 3 times in the Grey Garrison which allows approximately 12 rests before you start suffering from corruption... in a dungeon that can easily be completed without ever resting) so you should be fine.

As someone who played Kingmaker, my take is: Corruption mechanic not fun, NOT NEEDING Camping supplies that can get heavy: very much welcome. Also, idk, isn't cooking more accessible here? I've never cooked a food in kingmaker because i didn't bother figuring it out, the camping menu here is more accessible imo.

The second option with the number 2 slot. Every time I try to add a character in that slot it won't let me. The old way was fine and I liked it.

Cooking in this game is also a pain in the booty. You can buy ingredients from certain NPC's in Kingmaker, but here it's just a hassle to find the person.

I honestly don't understand what the second small box is for. It took me a while to figure out you have to use the second large box on the right side to add a second person.

Meh, just buy it all from everyone, once you have the bling I do a buy ingredients run and never look back.

I mean, it is a 100+ hour per play through game, what is a 30 minute shopping episode really going to mentally cost you?

Except they were cheap and if you took even a measly 42 rations to Varnhold you could rest 7 times, easily enough on Unfair - it really didn't make sense you left your tent and bed roll behind every time ...
