The Picard ManeuverA downside of being a party of narcoleptic adventurers.
conditional_soup“Wait, so they just stopped in the middle of killing everyone and went to sleep?”
“Yeah, damnedest thing. The wizard blew up bill, then asked the others if they wanted to rest and they all just started pulling out tents and shit.”
NGL, I play BG3 like D&D, I don’t trust the game (DM) not to fuck me over and tend to death march my characters. “Shut up and drink the health potion, you’re fine. Do you really need that short rest?” Etc.
The annoying thing about that is that if you don’t long rest enough in BG3, you miss a lot of story beats. Unlike tabletop, it wants you to long rest, and will punish you for not long resting rather than punishing you for long resting.
I’m doing a second playthrough and I’m realizing just how much I missed during my first playthrough where I used my tabletop mindset of “rest only when absolutely necessary”. And even then sometimes watching other people’s playthroughs I see scenes I never saw.
But also, if you rest too much you miss things. I wish it would warn you for some stuff, hopefully there will be a mod for it.
edgemaster72You under rest? Believe it or not, miss things. You rest too much, also jail. Underrest, overrest. We have the best party in the world, because of rest.
