StaceyPowers Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 In open world games, when and why do you sleep? Do you do it to level up? Because you have been traveling for 12 hours and your character surely is tired? Because you found a pleasant-looking bedroll? Etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killamch89 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 To be honest, I only let my character sleep when they're either tired or need some rest for whatever reason such as recovering from injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 2, 2021 Share Posted October 2, 2021 I never played a video game before and have an option of making my character have some rest and via cutscenes like sleeping and I'm seeing him sleeping lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 In RDR2 I sleep because it refills all my cores, and heals Arthur completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol, are you trying to say such scenario in the game makes you sleep while in-game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 (edited) I have Arthur lay down to sleep then when he wakes up, all his cores are healed. What's the confusion? What's funny? Edited October 3, 2021 by The Blackangel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Head_Hunter Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Whenever I burn hours playing games, I feel too weak during early time of the night, which makes me go to bed earlier if I started playing earlier in the day. Such scenario takes me more than right hours to recover and feel refreshed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it heals them when you take them to sleep. And GTA San Andreas series has such kind of dialogue where you'll find your character scratching on his wounds, you can simply take him to treatment centre, from there is resting time.

GTA V also has something similar to RDR2 where you're completely healed after saving. Although, unimmersive, it's a very handy one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Withywarlock Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 (edited) In earlier Elder Scrolls games, and some others off the top of my head, you couldn't level up until you'd gone to bed to meditate on what you'd learned. In a way it was like it's own "milestone experience" system, where until you'd survived the task at hand you couldn't learn from it. Honestly, I find this one to be quite realistic in a sense. Before I was going out with my dearest, I had to go on a walk the following day to process all that I'd learnt from her, and how I would respond in a few day's time. Flirting with my dearest was nowhere near as arduous as missing scribs in Morrowind but the principle remains. In Paper Mario, and I imagine this is a lot more typical, you can go to an inn to fully recover your health, flower power, and your star power. So yes, I only really sleep if there's a mechanical necessity to it. If I can use a wait function without needing to catch forty winks, I shall do so also.

I read the potential confusion as "I sleep because it refills my [as in the player] cores, and while that's going on, Arthur's sleeping." Kinda like a joke format that goes along the lines of, say in reference to Doom's synopsis, "I got locked in a room full of people and shot my way through them, and then I played Doom," the idea being that people think you're talking about events transpiring in the video game, the punchline being that it happened out of the game, and then they did something less spectacular in the game. I'm overexplaining it, and it's not as funny as the original version I fail to recall. Edited October 11, 2021 by Withywarlock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
