This may not be as big of an issue depending on what other changes are made, but right now there are a ton of button clicks associated with a long rest. Because of the way the game is balanced you can't just walk around with your party. If you do and combat starts you are at a significant disadvantage. Because of this I need to do the following anytime I take a long rest:
1. Re-summon my familiar(s)
2. Re-apply my mage armor
3. Re-apply my dark vision to characters or equip my torches (if you enter a dark area without this you are at a significant disadvantage)
4. Hide all my party members
If you add all this up, on a controller it takes several minutes just to get ready to start walking around. Maybe it is less painful with a keyboard and mouse, but with a controller this is a real bummer. Would it be possible to add some type of a loadout which puts your party in their default state (assuming you have enough slots to execute these steps) or maybe have a macro you can record to quickly cycle through the steps? Since a short rest is pretty much useless because it does not restore all your abilities I usually take a long rest after a big battle and having to do this preparation every time really takes away a lot of the fun and makes the game more work that it needs to be.
