I think I'll say that I'm with Red Queen as far as approach to resting is concerned. My main issue with resting is how it clashes with the narrative and how it's tie to companion content doesn't really work smoothly. But in principle, I think Larian could do better so signpost early what rate they think you should be resting, but that's all I think they need to do, signpost. Communicate to the player what rate of resting they think makes for the most balanced experience and then leave it to the player. That doesn't work when you have inconsistent companion scenes breeding paranoia about missing story content, but if that were fixed then I'd be totally fine and wouldn't be resting after pretty much every thing that happens.
