- Revamped Gameplay Systems: Leveling mechanics have been polished, character creation menus are more intuitive, and combat animations feel weightier and more responsive.
- Polished UI and Menus: In-game menus now mirror modern Bethesda titles, reducing clutter and improving navigation.
- Fresh Dialogue & Lip Sync: Hundreds of new voice lines bring life to NPCs, while advanced lip-sync technology makes conversations more immersive.
