I don't like kingmaker for a long list of reasons, but in the context of just resting I think it will never work for bg3. The whole purpose for it was to enforce the passage of time. You can't do that without a day and night cycle. Not to mention time limits, storage capacity limits, and introducing a cooking meal system. Might as well straight copy paste pathfinder systems and drop 5e.

My point is taking singular parts from a system is more complex than people make it seem. At a point it is not 5e anymore and at the same time some people are harassing the devs to make bg3 MORE like 5e. Lmao.

I mean you are free to do whatever you want. I just wanted to point that out.

I don't get it why it should contradict 5e when I want a day/night cycle, weather effects and a meaningful resting system?
It's the other way round. When you don't have the passing of time (come on, what is implemented in BG 3 as "passing of time" is just very poorly done), how can you apply the rules of 5e correctly?

That people (humans, dwarves, elves, tieflings, etc.) have to eat and drink or starve to death is part of DnD.
That you don't have to use a mechanic for it, is something completely different.

So how you think when people say you should have provisions/food when making camp does that in any way contradict DnD 5e?

I don't see why BG3 would be a worse game if we had a day/night cycle? And after 24 hours of running around Shadowheart tells you she is tired? Then you make a small campfire, click on it and then you talk to your companions the same way as you do now when you go to your "magic camp" that is Ao knows where?

Please elaborate, because I don't understand your point.
And yes, I definitely want more 5e in BG3

Ok let me put it this way: As of right now Larian publicly want bg3 to be a mix of divinty and 5e. The translation from pnp to video game format is never 1 to 1. Realism systems also don't translate well to video games. Some are asking for bg3 to be the following: 5e pnp, realistic resting, day and night cycle, etc. Increase system complexity essentially.

Stay with me. Larian added 1 short rest and it destroyed the flow of cutscenes quite substantially. The contradiction is what you are asking for vs what is already in the game as a system. My point was becareful what you ask for. Systems are more complex than they seem.

Almost nothing is impossible, but I have my doubts about the flexibility of the systems reconfiguration.

Hope that was more clear.
