I enjoy the new system. It eliminates me being able to eat an apple mid-combat to heal myself which was a bit silly. It still makes finding food in barrels/sacks meaningful because it is actually used for something. It makes sense that a living being would need to eat/drink when they camp to regain their health (also on page 186 of players handbook 2nd column 2nd paragraph, so yeah, it also seems pretty consistent with D&D to me). Best of all, the choose your food screen lets me quickly select a bunch of items and get them out of my inventory quickly. I seriously doubt Larian will find a system everyone likes, but in my opinion this one is way better than what was in the earlier patches. My only asks are:
1. You make an option to turn off having to have supplies to rest, so folks who don't want to have to deal with managing this can opt out.
2. Allow you to use supplies from the camp chest as well as from your inventory, so I can send stuff to camp instead of cluttering my inventory and still use it for resting.
3. Give me the ability with the Stadia controller to multi-select items in my inventory, so I can move them to my camp quicker.
