Zero thought and creativity was given to the rest system.
There should be consequences for resting a lot. Not a stupid mini food game. These consequences should be linked the game's difficulty or be enabled as an option even, for people who wanted all easy. What kind of consequences? That Larian's job to design and implement. Maybe random encounters depending on the area, environmental hazards, stat penalties etc...
Except they did have a better camp system in place which makes it really sad that they scrapped it all.
