It is definitly not for everyone, and it is a slower pace. You also make different choices about things like hats. :-) (I don't even know wha the fishing had does)

Rested buff against bosses, for example. I fought two bosses yesterday (bonemass and moder). bonemass wasn't much, but for moder, I dug a cave under a large rock (actually multiple rocks next to her alter and put a fire, bed and chests in there. Even with a 12 minute buff, I only had to refresh it once, and the rock had been pretty much destroyed by then, but the fire hadn't gone out (fortunately, and she even landed in it once!), and the bed was still covered, so it all worked out.

That said, I'm currently planning on moving my base out to a yagluth alter that is near mistlands, and that is always a long, drawn out process, especially since I also play nomap, which tends to make travel take longer (sometimes much longer).

Anyone else play nomap? We really should start a thread on alternate play styles. I've learned a few things the hard way that could save others time and frustration, like the burial chambers, crypts, and maybe mines can change your orientation when you enter/exit, which means that underground Vegvisir will point you in the wrong direction sometimes. I only learned that when I found two in visual distance from each other, and they pointed different directions!
