Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Please add a "night event(s) pending" indicator

Probably because I've got a lot of D&D experience, I'm one of those folks who finds tactical mode pretty easy. And, the story and many of the events have a natural urgency -- it doesn't feel right to sleep all of the time when there's this crisis going on. I got the whole first act kind of messed up by not sleeping enough, and later missed Shadowheart's big scene completely somehow. The Nightsinger (act 3) quest got bugged too. Now, I'm in act 3, and there's other "better act now!" story bits which I suspect actually mean "sleep to move forward".

I would really appreciate an indicator on the camp menu which hints that one or more nighttime events is waiting to trigger.


Additionally, while I know one can do "partial rest", I'd really like a "schedule meeting" button while IN camp, Sure, many of the events make sense only at night, but plenty are "I'll talk to you in camp." Why must I wait for evening for those talks (and other scenes) to happen?

I don't think it's too dramatic to say that this is currently my main frustration with the game as it is right now. Sure, there are other annoyances, but this really messes with the flow of the story for me, and makes it feel like I'm struggling against a computer game rather than playing out a narrative. (Like the classic text adventure where you had to guess exactly which words to type!)

I very much agree. I've had times I knew I had a nighttime story scene that I wanted to trigger, only to have to sleep 5 times to trigger it because there was a pile of events queued up that hadn't happened yet. You just don't need to Long Rest enough to trigger most of the scenes in a timely way unless you're playing incredibly poorly.

Looks like someone made a mod https://www.nexusmods.com/baldursgate3/mods/1879 — but I really think this should be in the base game.

Please we need a queue , that compiles night events and plays them consecutively.

For RP reasons it makes no sense to rest 5 times in row, therefore just and indicator solves nothing. We need to have an ability to play them all in row in a single rest.

You should not be able to spam long rests anyway. Makes the game too easy.
