This game has only one real advantage over Oblivion and that's the dynamic shadows on everything, which we can't emulate obviously. But it has some good ideas that I think we COULD implement. In particular, generic 'go fetch 3 rat meats' are given via a noticeboard. I was thinking that for a bit of variety, we could have some fetch quests given via objects similar to the Grey Fox wanted posters you see in the IC. Except they give a simple fetch quest.

Another thing I like about The Witcher is that near settlements, monsters only come out at night. Is this doable?

I also like the way it has atmospheric small animals like rats, crows, chickens, cats etc. Though we can't do birds that take off and land, I think using Mr Siika's chickens and also implementing cats like in Cats N Rats would be pretty cool.

Yes I believe it's very possible to give spawns a timer.

OOO does something like that with the noticeboards, so it's very much doable. I'll also include mr Siika's farm animal resources in the next master for the atmospheric small animals.
