Easter
We dye eggs and then I hide them around the house for my daughter to find. We also have the obligatory baskets filled with candy. This year we are hosting the extended family Sunday brunch. Unfortunately, no egg battles.

What you did today
That's a tough one GD. On one hand, loot and stability. On the other, ND sounds like a tomb to me. You could probably rent your house which would be nice if/when you come back. If the future Mrs. GD is on board then I say go for it.

Enemy parties that restore themselves if you don't defeat everybody
I haven't read anything about respawning but there are occasions to take certain enemies prisoner and put them in the dungeon under your keep.

Enemy parties that restore themselves if you don't defeat everybody
Im okay with managing resources over multiple encounters (and Im bummed that theres no healer class but that's a whole nother topic). What I don't like is that all these mechanics (healing, unmaiming, inventory, spell/ability replenishment, etc...) are all tied to a mechanic that's designed to be a pain to use (theres not even fast travel). I object to that principle, not to resource management. Sarex's example is a perfect illustration. I will absolutely, positively, save and rest before every single boss fight. For me, having to slowly hoof it back to the rest spot, top off, and then walk back to the boss will quickly wear on me. That's why I want a modded portable campsite. For convenience.

I disagree. 95% of attacks will damage your Health. Its a simple matter of death by a thousand cuts and in no way is a measure of success.

Enemy parties that restore themselves if you don't defeat everybody
100% of enemies in the game start with this advantage. They will always have full Health/Stamina and all abilities and spells at their disposal. Only the player party has to deal with being "ground down" over the course of adventuring. For realism. well, your party has to kill the 3 orcs guarding the gate, then kill the 2 pet hellhounds, then kill another 5 orc guards, then the troll cook, then 2 golems and you finally get to meet the lich who is the boss of the dungeon. if nobody has gone past the 3 guards outside, what reason would those inside have to be out of hp, stamina, skills and spells? they fought nobody, while by the time you get to the boss, you have had to kill 13 enemies of varying difficulty Exactly! Link?

Enemy parties that restore themselves if you don't defeat everybody
What? The entire "rest spot" mechanic was specifically designed as a disincentive to use. Your party will almost always be in a a state of less than full capabilities. Its my understanding that that is already the case. Assuming most people play the "core" path, enemies will already scale to +/- 1 or 2 levels and will always have full capabilities. How much more designed can they possibly be?
