I cant help the feeling that we are talking about different set of clicks.
Maybe.
So this is my usual experience when entering camp:
- Enter Camp
- Talk to folks etc.
- Walk to Bedroll
- Click 1 - Click on Bedroll
- Click 2 - Auto choose food. (realize I don't have enough on me )
- Click 3 - exit
- Walk over to Camp Supplies
- Click 4 - Open Camp Supplies
- Click 5 + Choose food
- Click Dunno at this point because of how many times I might need to click through all the food to get the 40 food I need but we'll call it one for best case scenario. Plus there's the likely clicks sending excess food back to the Camp Supplies once you return to the game...
- Click 7 - Exit
- Walk back to Bedroll
- Click 8 - Click on Bedroll
- Click 9 - add the food
- Click 10 - Sleep
So even if you remember to go to the Camp Supplies chest first or happen to have enough
on your main character it's still 7 clicks minimum just to sleep.
My idea:
- Enter Camp
- Talk to folks etc.
- Walk to Camp Supplies
- Click 1 - Open Camp Supplies
- Click 2 - Throw away Spoiled Food (remember there's a toss all spoiled food option)
- Click 3 - Choose food to Preserve
- Click 4 & 5 - Preserve food (Survival Roll + Guidance)
- Potentially doing this more than once to not risk failing with all your food? So maybe more clicks...
- Click 6 - Exit
- Walk back to Bedroll
- Click 7 - Click on Bedroll
- Click 8 - add the food (Automatically chooses food from Camp Supplies to reach 40, defaults to fresh first)
- Click 10 - Sleep
So now we have 10 clicks minimum so a few more but we get a Survival Roll and the whole thing makes sense from an RP perspective. Plus food now has value because it doesn't last unless you preserve it. Also I imagine that once we enter cities like Baldur's Gate or areas without much food (the Underdark didn't have much maybe the journey to the Towers won't either?) then it becomes a real issue of whether or not you're going to buy food (probably expensive in a city) or have enough preserved food to get you through.
Anyway that's what I'm thinking
