Does the actual passage of time do anything in the game(s)? I notice it keeps track of what day it is in your save-file.

Note: I'm not referring to things like Snaf's food handouts or Fortuno's swampweed handouts in G1 that happen every day.

It does a little, kind of. Some NPCs are only in certain places at certain times. Technically you can always go find them but that can be a bigger pain than it's worth. Also, I for one hate traveling in certain areas in the dark so I'll use it to wait for daylight before heading out. That wouldn't be a problem if you could use a torch AND sword at the same time but nothing is perfect.

I probably should have phrased the question better- I meant more do things happen after a certain number of days, rather than "does the time of day matter?"

Thanks, both.
