Fact 1. The game allows you to casually explore every area even if it is a blazing ship tearing through Hell with imps and demons and dragons attacking it. Does nobody else find that odd but me?
Fact 2. The game encourages you to only explore for a little bit every day before you should rest for the whole rest of the day. Doesn't that also seem strange? Most people, I would think, would be a wee bit in a hurry to get cured and save lives that are depending on you.
Fact 3. Companions will only chat with you if you rest for the whole rest of the day and only if you do so when they tell you they are tired and need to rest. Strange.
Fact 4. Companions and your main character often get tired real fast, sometimes when they've hardly done anything. Really weird.
Fact 5. Food heals you after a sword just slashed you spilling blood everywhere, and you can eat a whole rack of juicy baby back ribs in 3 seconds while a spider queen is trying to eat you. Hmm..
Fact 6. No matter how many days you take, those dreaded goblins never actually attack, and the druids never kick the tieflings out. So why is everyone worried about them? Just leave tieflings. Those gobbos ain't coming unless I decide to betray you all. Trust me.
Fact 7. You have a parasite in your head and the only cure might die soon. Is that not cause for alarm and urgency?
Fact 8. When I play this game, I get better rewards for sucking than I do for playing well. If I can get through the entirety of Act 1 without long rest, without searching every nook, I get less cool items, never trigger Raphael's cutscene, never get to know the characters, etc. By playing well and strategically, I miss out on a lot. This was my first playthrough. I never learned Shadowhearts secrets, or Wyll's or Astarion's and suddenly they all wanted to sleep with me even though I hardly knew them. Why? Because I didn't rest. I pushed on, played well, and trued to waste as little time as possible. Second playthrough, I got tons of cool story items, lots of dialogue, etc. all because I slept a lot and played Hidden Objects like I had no pressing issues at all. Utterly insane.
