I’ll be making the queerest, gayest, most simping character fighting for marginalized people(my kind of power fantasy) ever. How that looks like in specifics? No idea, I will probably take 2h or more in character creation figuring out who they are/what they look like :D
Yeah as long as you’re exploring, the game throws camping supplies at you so you can rest a bit more than you think. Also resting is how you see a lot of story cutscenes with your party so it’s a good idea to rest every once in a while and talk to your party members.
I have the same problem with hoarding items/spells (probably from playing old RPGs where you needed every advantage you could get) but recently I’ve just forced myself to use them if I need to and it usually works out fine.
