With how old school this game does some shit, and how I've been dicking about I am slightly worried I will hit a hidden time limit, like in Fallout 1 before I even attempt to dive into the main quest. I'm not just gonna turn squidy all of sudden and end my game if I take too long, am I?
Without spoilers, I would like to know too. I tried limit my rests at first, but gave up on that when stuff got annoyingly difficult.
I'm soon done with the first area and only thing I know so far is that on your second full rest theres a small main plot progression. Other than that no quests seemingly have had time limit so far, I could leave them right before a hard boss battle with civilians in immediate danger and can come back many rests later and nothing has changed.
I'm also trying to limit my resting, we'll see how long I last. Only level 4 right now. I have the same approach in BG2 for immersion reasons, and it does up the challenge quite a bit.
