I’ve never played D&D and I’m getting into BG3. I must be marathoning my characters cause I’m usually out of spells when I run into fights. My useful exploration spells also cost spell slots so I’m usually proceeding with cantrips for my adventures until I decide I really need to recharge.

How often is everyone else going through a long rest? I know there’s a trade off of consuming camp supplies and so maybe I’m just the guy who saves all the items for end game and never ends up using them.

    Companions say they are exhausted when you’re out of short rests and they’re damaged, low on spells, encumbered, or (this one I’m less sure of) debuffed with certain debuffs.

    Any one of the above + lack of short rests available will prompt the line, from what I’ve found

      I don’t think that is accurate, as my companions OFTEN say they are “just so tired” when I still have BOTH short rests available… I swear sometimes they say it when everyone is full health, plenty of spells and barely have started the day. I also don’t remember them basically ever saying it during act 1 and most of act 2, but that was around the time Patch 1 came out… I’m wondering if they added triggers for those lines to subtly convince people to spend more time in camp to progress some of the story - something to combat the fact that a lot of people seem to be missing lots of story by resting infrequently.

        I just got it in A1 after the owlbear fight, and used basically no resources

        Looks like I was wrong or tts bugged or both.
