I tried to be economical in my use of resources and push on hard, until I discovered that the game expects you to take a lot of long rests and you miss out on story if you don't. Now I take a long rest pretty much any time something important happens. For instance, as soon as I've recruited Gale and Astarion, I stop to rest even though I don't remotely need it at that point.It's frustrating, because the story pushes a narrative of intense urgency -- the clock is ticking! the tadpoles will turn us into mind flayers if we don't find a cure right away! -- but if you try to respect that narrative and play as if time were running out, you muck up the very story you're trying to roleplay.But then, as you discovered, there are scenarios where you actually do have to accomplish a task before resting, and you fail the quest otherwise. And there is no clear indication of when time counts and when it doesn't. So just about the time you get used to the idea of taking frequent long rests, suddenly it jumps up and bites you.I wish there were an option to allow multiple story events per long rest.</blockquote>
