Luvian, I just used NI to look at some area files. There is a general ARE file flag for "Allow Rest" and all areas seem to not allow resting. However, I know for a fact that you can rest in many of the areas that I looked at. Also, I looked in some of the areas' BCS files and there are references to "AllowAreaResting(TRUE)" and "AreaRestDisabled()", I'm thinking that the ARE Allow Rest flag is being ignored in IWD2 in favor of something hardcoded and script controlled.

That said, it would certainly seem possible to prevent resting in some of the questionable areas, if desired.
