Many players have experienced the frustration of losing track of time while exploring or fighting, leading to failed quests or encounters with tougher enemies at night.

Even though it was right in front of our eyes, it seems like a lot of players missed the in-game clock:

IDK who needs this, but the wheel in the back of the pause menu is the clock/ time of day by u/elusiveanswers in DragonsDogma

Using rest stops or overnight camps can help, but checking the in-game clock periodically can greatly aid in planning.

Surprisingly, the clock isn't too obvious - it's cleverly integrated into the game's pause interface in the form of a rotating ring. By observing the ring's brightness levels and sun/night representation, you can tell the time of day, which is indicated by a small marker at the top.

This feature allows players to be aware of the approximate time, allowing for better decision-making during quests and encounters.
