Jedi Master Radek every time you decide not to utilize mechanic that you know is superior - you are larping
Is not rest spamming handicapping myself or not cheating?
Is not grinding random encounters handicapping myself or not cheating?
Is not using a very specific build that trivializes the game handicapping myself or not cheating?
Is not using alchemy to become a god after several minutes in Morrowind handicapping myself or not cheating?
Let casters sustain multiple spells but give them adverse affects whenever concentration is broken. Haste already has the Lethargic effect. Just give all spells some kind of cool way to blow up in your face. Problem solved.
What resources?
There's rest spamming and limitless gold here, like in most CRPGs.
Spell slots.
If you show some self restraint and don't rest after every encounter you will be rewarded with a more fun system than the one with concentration. Concentration is a typical solution worse than a problem. and for a limitless gold you need to grind random encounter. Not difficult to show a restraint here.

The difference between the first two and the others is that grinding and spamming rest requires no game knowledge at all, while building a good character or learning how to exploit alchemy actually necessitates you achieve a minimum level of proficiency with the system. Or would you say is the same to build an optimal character that can deal with anything in the game, compared to resppecing your character each time you are stuck because the game allow you to do so at no cost?
Nonsense, you need hard time limits (strategic costs in addition to tactical costs) or no rest system makes sense
Limitless gold for spell components != limitless gold in general, the former is much easier to achieve.
Making some adjustments to how I use game mechanics to have fun is not larping.
Does it really matter to discussion if I need a deep knowledge about the system or not? Some may say that the possibility of building OP characters forces knowledgeable players to handicap themselves by not using them. Some may even want to balance the system so all OP builds would be out so the players don't need to handicap themselves to play. I just want to say that this line of thinking will eventually lead to sawyerism.
I never had a problem with self restricting my rests. Do you rest after every encounter that have used up some of your resources in BG or IWD? I always play until my party is half dead and nearly out of spell. Even in this state I often try to engage next enemies to the point when I know if it is possible without having super lucky rolls or not. If it is not possible, then I rest. And I am not a person with a strong willpower. If I buy sweets I always eat them on the same day, even if I bought too much of them to eat all in one go. I devour them like a wild animal and then I feel bad about myself
I never had problem with the resting systems. Why are you people always trying to fuck up the games for us? It is your problem for spamming buffs and resting every 10 seconds,go get checked by a doctor.I never had a problem with self restricting my rests.

I do the same, but like lukaszek says it's larping.
Concentration wouldn't really affect this either way really, it's a different issue.

You're the one trying to get rid of concentration and fuck Solasta up.
Was talking about 3.5e and how every retarded dev was trying to fix the problem of muh buffing and creating garbage games,same with resting. That is why kingamaker is such a good game,doesn't give a flying shit about the authists and their balance retardation.To be fair, it's not that all buff spells in 5E
Wrong. You are better off getting +1 con and proficiency to saving throws feat.I think the Flawless Concentration feat is pretty much mandatory in this game because of the reasons you mentioned. I'm glad I picked it up on my cleric.

So what's the Codex consensus on this game, gentlemen (and occasional liluras)? Worth the while?
I agree with this, except I kinda liked the music.So what's the Codex consensus on this game, gentlemen (and occasional liluras)? Worth the while?
It is thoroughly mediocre. The story is generic fantasy trash, there is no C&C, the music is bland, the game is very easy on the medium difficulty, and it looks like it's from 2008. On the plus side, some encounters are fun and there is some nice loot.
They could have done much more with the setting. For example, why is there no quest where we need to figure out, using our own brains, who is and isn't a Sorak in disguise? Maybe, if we pick wrong, there could be dire consequences.
