In this interview they are claiming that the game will have no day/night cycle at all.

Honestly this is the first thing I'm genuinely pissed about. I don't even want to hear the justifications about how it's a costly feature.
They are blowing basically unlimited budget on this goddamn production, I'm sure they could have spared a percentage of the budget to account for that.
It would also be a long term investment, as they'd be able to recycle the tech (variable lighting, time passing, scheduling, etc) for each of their subsequent titles, in some form.
What gets me is that they cut features like this, hand-placed items and item artwork, UI investment etc and then blow a trillion bucks on hours and hours of voice acting for their shitty generic dialogue.
