I'm sure it will be improved upon and yeah hard time gates kinda suck, though idk sometimes when it narratively makes sense, maybe a slightly different scene or outcome for taking too long might be good. But I'm more talking about like self-contained random things like oh a storm hurt the farmhouse, pay x to fix it or lose it's bonus, or exam week at the college, better study up. Kinda thing. Nothing too consequential but feels like things are happening as time goes on.
