Some great ideas I would love to see all of them. Especially the kids thing and the unspoken reasons why. So dark!

I just remembered a big one. Day and night cycles with npc schedules. I would erase all the stretch goals, except for modding support, for this one. It would immersive me so much in the story to feel like time was passing as the story evolves. It would also make the cities and npcs feel so much more alive.
