@Rag at this point food system IS pointless. It doesn’t limit resting...
I believe what he's saying is that the limiting factor *is* the hassle.
And I don’t think that’s a case, though maybe as I tend to rest too little rather then to often perhaps I just under appreciate amount of tedium this system adds for someone resting often
Personally, I suspect that the details of the resting system just haven't been introduced in the patches yet. I think they'll seriously tweak the amount of food available and the cost of resting.
It’s possible - after all when introducing the system Sven mention that cost of resting will raise as we progress - something we have not seen in EA.
Personally, I can’t see this system becoming anything more then a minor exercise in tedium. Create an actual limit of food that you can get and you risk players getting stuck during their playthrough.
