I would add that it would be great to see the addition of camping inside dungeons "for the night", with an addition of a chance for an encounter. Combine this with the option of setting a guard who does not rest, to avoid surprise, and this would do away with a lot of the unrealistic feel of "jumping to camp". Make Base camp available only when it's reasonable close by.

Requiring food when you rest would also be very nice. Make it an option for a "hardcore" game mode, maybe, with arrows that one needs to buy and carry.

I love the whole idea of the "Base Camp" and the way one gets to know one's companions, can improve the camp's stuff, store things and in the future, no doubt, will be able to craft and cook there. I love the way new hangers-on show up! The way night comes when you decide to end the day is genius...it solves a complex problem most elegantly and easily. It's brilliant game design.

The game is the most RP fun I've had in a long while.



Thanks, I appreciate your vote of confidence. Camping inside dungeons does also sound like a cool idea, with a random encounter chance.

Requiring food for rest would be great, because there's such a massive overabundance of food items in the game already. It would probably be a trivial cost in actuality, but just putting even a small cost on camping might make people take pause before always hitting the camp button after every fight. I hate the idea of having to carry arrows around though, that adds absolutely zero enjoyment to the game, to me, and it's just more stuff to clutter up the inventory.

I agree about the camp, it's cool.

Most fun I've had in an RPG for a good while, myself.
