With restrictions on long rest I really hope they make cutscenes/events with your party trigger in a more stable way. Right now long rests are needed to trigger all the events
This. After all, in fact, for most people, "rest spam" is not associated with recovery spells, it is associated with the cutscene.
I like most of what I'm seeing here. We'll see once I play around with it a bit.
I have to ask, why is there so much emphasis on Shadowheart changes every patch? The other characters need love too.
I think it's important for the plot... I don't really like it either. If I take Shadow to a party, then in most situations only she speaks. But I play the cleric myself, I don't need a second cleric.
