I did one play through of Oblivion, where my character was a cowardly drunken alchemist and always tried to make it to an inn by night. Unless she was in a cave or ruin and didn't know it was night out.
In this game, I am having so much fun exploring, and half the time I am in some of these cool, twisty ruins and dungeons, I have no clue whether it is night or day. A few times I have been very far away from civilization in the wee hours and the game does a good job, atmospherically, of making you a bit... edgy. Music, weather, ambient noise. You'll here that deep bass note sometimes and get vaguely nervous. Heh.
