I can't remember where I first noticed it, maybe BG:II possibly and I kinda understand it as even compared to TT D&D CRPG's can be combat heavy but it still felt a bit like exploiting the game especially as the monsters seem to think, oh they're sleeping well we'll leave them to it until they wake up. I actually prefer having cooldown periods and regeneration. It amounts to the same thing but just feels less like cheating.
Another one of my pet peeves, monsters that just inhabit rooms waiting to be killed by some passing adventurers. Do they never eat, sleep, work?
