Why do you guys keep getting away from the true point?

I am punished for playing the game the way I want. You keep saying play it the way you want. If I do, I miss out on tons of stuff. I know it's not an action game. It's an RPG, and RPG means role playing and that means you put yourself in the role if the character.

But I can't because the game FORCES you to rest in order to get character development. I HAVE to play for 10 minutes and rest for 24 hours or I am punished by NOT getting what I like most about RPG's. Character development and interaction. I am not only NOT urged to get to the main quest. I am punished UNLESS I take a laid back approach to it.

So I literally can't play it the way I would REALLY like to because I am punished for good gameplay and rewarded for taking an I'll get to the main quest when I feel like it approach.

This said, I sincerely apologize for hurting anyone's feelings with the cancer thing. You are right. I didn't consider how that might be taken.
