I am speaking as someone who was a fan of the Day/Night cycles and NPC schedules. I was disappointed at the news that they were cancelled.
I think Larian should learn a lesson from this about biting off more than they can chew. I do not expect the schedules to be patched in, the best-case-scenario I see is a cosmetic day/night cycle, and I would like that (but I am not optimistic).
I think:
The cosmetic/some gameplay effects of having the day/light go from dawn to dusk, with the light changes, some game features, like zombies being stronger at night, trolls turning into stones during day, and so on. Nobody will tell me this is hard to do, and that it is time consuming for indie pro devs. Larian simply cant say that.
Uh, yeah they can.
Because Larian are the ones who are working on the game, they are the ones that know how many bugs already need squashing, they know what features are still in progress and need to be added, they know how much budget they have.
Who the heck are you, that you know all that stuff better than Larian does?
