Hey Larian,
Just wanted to say thank you for Divinity: Original Sin. The Wife and I had a blast playing it together yesterday...most of the day, in fact. We haven't done that in ages, not since we had kids. I grew up in Ultima IV and thought the days of...well, thinking in games had come to a close. We are both happy to see this is not the case.
Now, we bought this game from steam during their summer sale, so I got it for peanuts. We didn't know anything about the kickstarter nor have we playing any of the previous games. Frankly, I bought it because it was cheap and I read an article on the game that likened it to Ultima VII.
Since playing D: OS, we have been all about it. Looked into the kickstarter and the history of its development. Having learned about the projects history, I have to convey once very large disappointment. The Day/Night cycle and NPC schedules...a HUGE gameplay feature of the Ultima series starting with Ultima V. I understood that budgetary issues led to it being cut, even though it was a promised item.
Rather than complain and blame, I will ask that you try to add this promised feature as DLC. To help with this, and to say thank you for making such a great game, we purchased the collectors edition of D: OS. Honestly don't know what I will do with three copies of the game, but I can think of no higher compliment than purchasing additional copies to support/reward the team.
Please consider our humble request regarding the Day/Night Cycle and NPC schedule.
