Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback Scaling food required for long rest

I like the current food requirement for long rests.

I just had a thought that it would be cool to actually scale the amount of food required for a long rest based on the characters in camp. This could just account for the playable characters, but I also would like non playable characters like Scratch and Volo also requiring food.

Since the current baseline is 40 food items for a party, the requirement could be changed to 4-5 food items per person (and perhaps 2 food items for pets).

I am not a fan of resource management, so if they did that and food was scarce, my camp might just be

The Essentials
Halsin
Scratch
Owlbear cub

The Ones Who Don’t Eat Food
Withers
Astarion

I believe those who keep in your camp whole day have more than enough time to search for their own food. :P

For party members food requirement should be scaled. It doesn't make sense one or two people would eat as much as four. But I'm definitely not interested in searching for food for people who just hang out at the camp.
