I really really dislike there not being the option to move around in the dark.
Especially given they want us to explore the 'evil' options. As a thief I want to sneak around in the dark.
As a PC from a disliked race, I would like to be able to enter settlements in the dark to avoid the law abiding citizens and meet other sketchy or undesirable NPC's.
I wonder how they will approach things like thief guilds in the city itself, will you be supposed to RP you're a super evil well known villain somehow able to walk around in the day without people attacking you ?
How are you supposed to have believable encounters with creatures such as vampires, fences, ... that are supposed to be hidden from the law/sun but might come out at night ?
How are supposed to go rob houses during the day ?
So far I'm really enjoying the game and I don't mind their changes with regard to the older BG (or other CRPG) games, in so far as they actually offer a 'full alternative'. So TB instead of RTWP , both are valid. 4 instead of 6 party members, ok both are valid. But the game simply forcing you to roleplay an evil or otherwise not really law abiding, criminal or darkness loving character in a world that is set to take place in a permanent 'sunny afternoon' , nope sorry, I really do not see any credible argument for that, it simply doesn't make sense to me....
Also I don't really see what is holding them back, they already have the maps , it's a lot of work indeed, but also only adjusting the lighting. I guess they have both the know-how and also think their engine CAN handle it, given that they managed to create relatively dim/dark dungeons, etc.
Moreover, they broke sale records with their EA (1mil x 60) so budget should not be the issue.So please Larians , be kind and give us thieves, outcasts and other undesirables of Faerun the option to avoid the daylight , night time is the right time !
PS: I made the same comment on Reddit but decided to post it here as well because this day/night and permanent noontime-summer thing are the only things really bothering me in the game at this stage in EA.
