3)Were there any changes made to the camping/resting system?
And just one more snippet about camping.
In the presentation I saw in the morning, there was a section shown in (I think) the outskirts of Baldur's Gate and when the party rested they were shown camping out in what looked like an alley somewhere. Swen was presenting and commented that this was because he hadn't yet rented a room in an inn.
So, jumping to some conclusions from that, looks like staying in inns is confirmed, and that how it might work is that we can hire a room in an inn and an area and then when we long rest in that area we might return to that inn, at least unless we have to hire an inn each night. It also seems that rather than taking the act 1 camp in the wilderness with us, we'll get new camp locations for each area we visit (which we were probably expecting from the fact that the game already gives us different camp maps when we venture into the Underdark and so on, but still to see that confirmed).
