Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Questions about Features from the Kickstarter.

I'll contradict with what you've said on the bolded one (and for the content of the quoted post). Larian said they will create an NPC not based on a generic schedule (IE 1 AM sleep, 9 AM go to shop/work) but an NPC that reacts to its environment (it's raining, we have to take shelter). Of course the schedules are still there, but it will be more flexible instead of the normal course. I believe the Osiris script system that was showcased on the latest update for kickstarter showed the values for this to take into effect.

TL;DR a fixed schedule won't be implemented as what you have stated. We don't know when the NPC will sleep nor when will they go to work. Stabbey's suggestion on the sleeping must be implemented for the schedules to be less annoying.

Hmmmmm I am a bit worried about this scheduler, I mean it is a really good idea, I enjoyed it a lot in the Fable's games, it gives new perspective in the game (furthermore when you want to rob people). But I agree on the idea that a sleep function should be implemented.

I know it is hard to manage in mutliplayer but one of the ideas that was given sounds interresting to me : when a character wants to sleep, and only if both are not involved in a fight, a message is sent to the other player, then thsi other player can chose to accept to join the "sleeping time", in this time they both sleep, or he can refuse, in this case both player can continue to play.

An other useful feature could be that you can decided how many hours you want to sleep !!
Starting from that point we can think about sevrals things like a counter that will tells you how mny "days" you needed to end the adventure of malus if you character does not sleep enough or do too many physical efforts...
