Look at all the MMOs that have day night cycles do all their worlds feel alive? Does Vanguard Saga of Heros feel alive?

No I wish my load screen to Voss wasn't 10 minutes, or that I didn't have to do the hyper space marathon when I go to Ilum. Those are key elements that would make the world more engaging. But hey man whatever floats your RP boat... Skyrim is cool btw.

Your problem is your definition of life, to you life is sentient beings living on a planet, but to people like me, life is also the universe itself doing what it's supposed to do, whether that be asteroids and comets flying around, or planets orbiting one another. It's not just about day/night cycles, since this game is supposedly built to feel more like a single player game (voice overs and whatnot) why not add other elements to it as well like NPC's living their lives on the planet, stuff that you see in games like Skyrim.

Sure let's have day and night cycles because all the planets in the universe have day and night at the exact same time.... What? Oh.."each planet can have it differently" you say? Then I ask...do people want the same day night cycles as they have on earth? Or is there a smarter way to implement this? Let's hear it.

And Skyrim could have looked better still with baked in lighting.

Wow, you're willful ignorance amazes me, in fact, screw it, i'm reporting you for trolling, you can only be doing this to annoy me.
