In-game clock

[Potjeh]

Display exact in-game time on mouseover of the sky circle (the thingy where the sun and moon are shown), please.

Why?
I am asking because I never felt the need to know the exact ingame time. This might of course change as soon as we have time based wyrd events or something.

For time-dependant stuff like silk, steel and fish. But mostly because I want to know how long till this damn darkness goes away.

For the first three I see no difference in using your computer clock. For the darkness thing, you can estimate it quite exactly by the position of the moon. Remember we are living in the dark ages here (yeah, yeah realism argument, but I don't see the necessity of a clock. On the other hand if they implement one I don't care either.).

Not exactly what you want, but still.

i'd be fine with this i suppose but not too exact. like instead of saying "8:23 am" it should use the old scandinavian daymarks like miðr morgun, dagmál, middag

Thanks, Kaka.

But yeah, it's mostly for fish, because it seems that seconds matter there. I can guesstimate using sun and moon with a half hour precision at best, and that's just not precise enough.

Or how about a skill like astronomy when combined with learning basic machinery allows you to make a sundial and have the ability to tell the exact time?

[Jackard]

you know itd be nice if skills had multiple uses

actually that goes for most statistics in this game like beliefs and attributes too. make it more cohesive.

Haha, I was just about to suggest a sundial. Scourage's suggestion is pretty bomb. Having a way to tell time which adhere's to the time the game is set in would be great. Not only that, but sundials look neat
