Hi WanderingScholar
Another difficulty component from Tweaks Anthology that might be worth adding:
Limit Resting Mechanic [Luke]
EEex required; available for BGEE, BG2EE, IWDEE, EETThis component simply forces the party to rest at most once per 24 in-game hours. It does not prevent scripted resting.
I'm not sure if resting at an inn is limited or resets the timer? It's probably best if it didn't. The player should probably be allowed unlimited resting at inns and timed resting outside.
Mechanic is still broken:
1) Fatigue on Party can be activated before 24 hours, so player cannot rest again at current area and must go to area with inn
2) Player can still cheat - leave current area and jump to area with inn, then back to current area
Good point. I suppose restricting yourself from rests can be easily self-imposed by the player for increased difficulty so there's also that.
I remember DavidW created a resting related mod not too long ago (EE only) that required the player to purchase camping supplies in order to rest. That's another way to approach it I guess.
