Man, Grudge. I'm convinced. You and I are on different worlds. I think we're speaking 2 different languages. If anything, you and I are apples and oranges.
Am I insane? Someone else, please tell me if I'm just being crazy.
Grudge. Let me paste a nasty, toothy, tentacled worm under your eyelid. It's okay. I'll drug it first so that it's sleeping. I promise. It's gonna sleep for weeks. Oh. When it wakes up, it'll just turn your flesh inside out. It's okay. I drugged it though. You'll be fine for weeks.
Oh yeah. By the way. The only person who might be able to remove it ever is being held a few miles away in a prison cell by crazy, man eating creatures who might kill him at any moment.
What was that? Oh. You feel something squiggling beneath your eyelid? It's okay. Just sleep. You'll be fine. Promise. What? Oh. A demon visited you and wants that thing too? No worries. It's asleep. You're fine. Why don't you just sleep another 24 hours. You're fine.
You just woke up from sleeping 24 hours? All you did was run through a devastated village? Well, your friend wants to chat with you in private. Why don't you just call it a day and rest another 24 hours. It's okay. It's still asleep. You're fine. By the way, those goblins everyone has been scared of, you don't need to worry about them showing up either because I know everyone is worried and all, but I promise they aren't ever going to show up even if you sleep a thousand times.
And what's that? Some witch just kidnapped a girl and took her down into her underground lair? Well. You look tired. It's okay. Go rest for 24 hours and come back. She'll still be there waiting for your to come rescue the girl. Shes got nothing better to do than to stand in that one spot and wait for you to get there.
Some things don't have to be said specifically in a game. If you tell me everyone in my neighborhood is going to die in just a few days unless I do something, then that creates a sense of urgency. I can't be sleeping my days away without concern unless I really don't care about the people in my neighborhood.
And I don't care what anyone says, put a weird bug up your eye and you are going to want to get that thing out as soon as possible whether it is dormant or not. Geez. Just the actual thought of it makes my skin crawl.
But again, you are still missing my point. If I don't sleep a lot, I miss game content. So, what's Im saying is that while many are afraid on this thread that if they put time limits on things they won't be able to explore everything in time, so they'll miss out on content, Im saying the same thing about the game right now. I miss out on story content unless I explore every little thing and sleep a lot...like I mean sleeping 24 hours for every 30 minutes that Im awake.
So, the point is that instead of rewarding players for sleeping less and playing based on the storyline, the game rewards people for sleeping more and playing in a way that is quite contrary to the real and true storyline.
I should get better gear, more dialogue, and satisfying adventure results from rescuing Halsin quicker, saving Mayina without long resting, defeating the Gith versus running from them, discovering Kahga's treachery in a timely manner, etc. Likewise, I shouldn't be able to save Mayrina if I go nap for 8 or more hours while the hag is escaping with her. The grove should be cut off by druids if I take too much time, etc,
This is a logical conclusion to all of these narratives in the story. What is against the flow of the story is to roam about acting like you don't have a wiggler swimming under your eyelid.
So. Tell me honestly. You like reading my comments. That's why you keep disagreeing with me and accusing me of going against the narrative. Right? Come on. Admit it.
