Has anyone from Larian ever directly commented on this? It's obviously a major constant problem with the game for a very significant number of players for painfully obvious reasons, but it seems at least something that would be manageable for them to fix (at least in relation to e.g. adding massive features like day/night cycles and all associated proper gameplay mechanics). I have to assume it's just stubborn pride at this point as Ranxerox mentioned. Not exactly a great look for a developer that used to give the appearance of caring about player feedback, some years ago.
