TLDR : Given the circumstances, the sense of urgency feels lacking in the beginning of the game.
I am glad that this has not become such a chore and that I can rest as often as I want.
When the situation became apparent to me I felt annoyingly pressed for at least 3/4th of my first (complete) playthrough of the available content.
And it was not a good feeling.
It was not good to expect to somehow
"fu** up" and lose everything because I was too chill.
But I am not someone who likes to be under pressure anyways. My whole spiritual being rejects it.
