In any case, it seems likely to me that the average player rests more than the average forum member.
Again, in my case, I don't try to actively avoid resting (it also seems odd to me). I do it when it makes sense (low on spell slots/companions complaining).
But I'm still confronted to this issue.
That’s fair. Out of curiosity, how often do you usually rest in the early game?
Doesn't work with the example I have given above.
And I don't like missing stuff that, to me, at least, shouldn't be missable.
If I understand the example, no amount of resting can fix the issue. You’d have to try every party combination every rest to make sure you’re not locked out of any cutscenes.
I get disliking missed story beats if you’re here for the story; I’m afraid Larian don’t seem to share your pain, on the contrary. I don’t think there’s any way they’ll let players experience the entire story in a single run.
Edit:
And I posted the image of my treasure trove above for this exact question to showcase how it's possible.
Wait that was for real? I thought you just showed a random large pile of stuff for illustrative purposes.
