I do feel like it's such a waste of opportunity to not have Day/Night cycle when you actually went through the trouble to input mechanics that interact with it - i.e. stealth, stealing, etc.

I.e. even just in the EA, the way certain quests play out can be completely altered and freshened via interactions with the day/night cycle. Imagine infiltrating the goblin camp at night completely in stealth. Or stealing the idol while the Druids are sleeping.
