I don't understand these arguments. Anything that you can just decide not to do is not something that needs to be changed....other people may enjoy it. So why wall them out unless you are arguing that you have no willpower...
I agree we can decide for ourselves when to rest and that’s what I’ll continue to do if Larian don’t change anything. But I would prefer it if the game set me some level of challenge not only about winning individual battles but also managing my resources over a number of encounters. This doesn’t need to be a hard limit, and in fact I’d prefer it not to be.
But it seems a valid preference to have the game set some expectations and to nudge us in the direction of resting at particular intervals or points, to reflect that we’re running a campaign here not just fighting a number of separate battles. Particularly as self-imposing a sensible cadence probably involves an element of meta-gaming.
I do not, of course, expect everyone to share this preference
