It seems likely that the NPC schedules will be one of the skipped features, added in a later patch.
Other things which are clearly missing - not just "unpolished" or "in need of refinement", but outright missing:
- Direct IP connection (for Co-op)
- In-game text chat (for co-op)
- Pickpocketing
- Second Ring slot
- Second chest(?) Slot on paper doll?
