Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback What's the point of resting?

I'm ok with the resting but does every encounter have to be against the New England Patriots? Where the hell is Appalachian State on my schedule? (for Sven it may be a better analogy to say why am I on the pitch with Brazil every go? Where is Albania?). Encounter difficulty demands constant resting at this point. Big issue with that is there's got to be a consequence for it, and there doesn't seem to be. There's a time bomb in your skull here and from the RP perspective it doesn't make any sense to rest full, even if we're not on the regularly scheduled ceremorphosis.

Quite simply, the pacing of encounters and rest in no way matches up with what the motivations would be for a group of people infected with mind flayer parasites. It's almost comically stupid.
