I remember seeing a post about a bunch of cut content people found, one of them being the game is more obvious about a story event ready to trigger at camp and telling you to long rest. That's why your party sometimes make random comments about "Wanting to take a rest" or "That's enough for today I think" when in the overworld, because that was part of the cut mechanic. I think Larian took it out because some players would see it as immersion breaking, but PLEASE bring it back in it's full glory for those of us who can't mod or don't want to yet on our first playthroughs.
Fully support, I'm not currently modding the game until it's finished. I mean, patches will be coming out for a very long time, I don’t want to constantly break saves and wait for mod updates to come out
