Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General 1M for NPC Schedules, Day/Night Cycles, Weather

I'm disappointed aswell, but it was not surprising for me that those elements aren't core elements, because Larian made no secret out of that (if you have followed the updates!).

Of course I really hope that "we" reach the 1$ Million goal, because I have the strong opinion that this kind of "world simulation" aspects are needed to make the "perfect" RPG. Imho nothing is more horrible in a fantasy/rpg world than standing NPCs (at the same place the whole time) with "?" and "!" indicators over their heads. They totally break the isolution to roleplay in a different world.

But Larian is clever, I'm sure if we won't reach that Kickstarter goal they'll do some kind of compromise. Don't forget: there's always the option that the community can fix those issues with the editor (hopefully it's powerful enough to do that kind of scripting) after shipping the game.
