I downloaded the mod that tells you there's an encounter in camp for my second run.

Turns out I missed out on tons of content. My first playthrough was a breeze (I had a ton of experience in act 1 from ea) I barely long rested at all, especially as I was playing a bard so I had song of rest...

My romance never went further than the one night, I never saw Orin in camp, I missed out on tons of intercharactar dialogue...the list goes on.

Playing it a second time and long resting like 20 times in a row to see each scene...I literally used more long rests before finishing act 1 than I did in my entire first playthrough...that mod is necessary...

Do you mind sharing what mod? I tend to spam long rest when I can, but there's times I just get too engrossed in battling/exploring and forget for a while LOL

Pretty sure it's called "Camp Event Notifications".

It gives the mc a ! above their head when running around and there's a camp event, sometimes it's just going to camp but normally it's a long rest thing.

You can also turn it off in-game if it annoys you.

But yeah it was eye-opening. I didn't realise how much fun stuff I missed!
