It's getting late. We just got our new quest, and it seems that the bandits we're supposed to intimidate (kill) won't be in their hideout for long. But we're hungry, getting tired, and once the sun goes down, it gets pretty dang cold around here! Do we wait until after breakfast, make concessions (have a snack, take a nap, wear warmer clothes), or ask the GM to quit using these annoying survival rules?
I've only had to suffer through Skyrim's survival rules (they're actually awesome), but it's fun to ask yourself some of these questions: should I go on the quest now and hope my enemies are sleeping or groggy when I get there? Should I rest up and eat so I'm at full throttle when I go (like my opponents might be)? Should I dress for the cold and have a top speed of 2 mph if I get jumped?
Bonus thought: enemies didn't actually get tougher at night in Simon's Quest. Simon was just lacking the vigor he had during the day...
