discussion Changes to play style with Vigilant Flame

[Jolan]

Has any one else found their playstyle has changed due to Vigilant Flame?   Much to my surprise, cooking has made me change base camps and how I handle fires.  Big drippy houses with huge stoves are now desireable real estate and I now will frequently run multiple fires if I don't plan on spending hours at a site.  Oh, and I use quartering so much more now.  This update makes me wish even more that we could build our own fireplaces/fire pits (al la cooking pit at pleasant valley or a walled stove.  I even know a building where we could get the stone bricks.

It's changed my style a bit. I now do small tasks like sharpening at a different time than I used to. And I tend to boil a little bit of water more frequently, rather than boiling large quantities every now and then. It also caused me to start a new game to explore HRV, as I wasn't willing to risk my character who's going for the 500 days marker by stupidly dying from getting lost.
