Consequence, (pushed to its point): Skip long rests where the companion stories progress and rush the main story and don't stop to smell the roses on the way (so skip all side content).
That was very confusing for me too, first thing I thought was ''Ok, we're on a timed quest'', then proceeded to do my best to beat everything I could without resting. Result: Not getting cinematics at camp or advancing half the plot of the game xD
