great post
- Rest is even worse
+ As you have written, short rests are pointless because you can long rest any time
+ If you do not rest you will not progress companion quests or get some cut scenes.
So its not just that resting after every encounter has no downside, not resting often punishes you because you miss quests.
- total agreement to traps
You should be able to detect traps, you should be able to disarm all traps you see ( or give a reason why not ) and the game should not show failed perception checks.
It would be nice if there was an option: pause the game when you detect something, highlight it until you unpause (so players can find it when the camera is in a bad position) and stop movement when you detect something.
trade: please stop the D:OS nonsense that merchants give us better prizes when you give them stuff for free.
Moving inventory to the char with the highest char before shopping is annoying.
Guidance helps us to get better prizes, which makes no sense.
