Sleep

[Moyocoya]

Hi,

No way to just sleep in my bedroom ?
It's weird to be compeled to sit anywhere waiting...

[Moga CMDR]

No.

Just wait next to your bed to RP it.

total oversight. there's basically zero reason to go to your common room once you leave it.

Wait for a mod I guess

They really handled passing time lazily. Your character just seems to sit on the floor regardless of it make any sense. Plenty of other game handle this by showing your character doing something as you regain control of them.

I mean, there's plenty they could have done. Animation of "practicing magic" or any of the other things we already see NPC students doing.

Yeah, sleeping on the dirt before an epic quest is lame.

I'd rather had something a bit more immersive. Like meals in the great common room, or need to sleep and eat. Too bad.

Many people complain about anything that slows things down, so I can see why they don't have more stuff like that.

The interaction in the world are very limited sadly no sitting no sleeping no real npc daily routine like sleeping at night so so

wonderfully modeled world very boring npc/interaction with it tho

yes its weird because in the beginning quests there is a part where you have to go back to your room to advance the time but i guess they ripped that out during playtesting ppl dont wanna go back each time to advance the game

Definitely. The game lacks "social" meaningless but fun events to put flesh on its bones. Sitting, reading, sleeping, attending to class, eating, exams, more grand events (I don't know, balls, parties, etc), and so on.

i can understand not making it mandatory but it should be an option. also there should be people sleeping in the dorms at night but as is they're just empty. does everyone go home for the night or what?

I agree that they could've done a more with the common room, or at least done a contextual 'wait' animation, i.e. within the school/Hogsmeade/Towns have the character finishing up practicing spells, or reading a book, even or saying goodbye to a fellow student or some random NPC as they walk off from an implied conversation.

Outside in the world, have them vanishing a small camp or something.

Just some surface level things that'd add a bit to the immersion factor... right now the MC is like an obsessive insomniac.

It seems like their might have been a curfew mechanic at some point, it's mentioned a couple times, even says outright that you have to return to your common room at night early on, and then there's a few quests where you have to sneak around "after curfew" - but outside of that it's no longer enforced.. wonder if it was removed or it's truly just a contrived rule for certain quests.

So you make it something completely optional, run back to your bed and use it to pass the time or go have a meal in the great hall and have students there periodically through out the day or night also eating.
