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.
The game isn't "punishing you", you're just trying to roleplay your own narrative that is in direct conflict with the actual flow of the story.
