I keep being impressed with the little things in this game. Lots of "hardcore" stuff in here that I didn't notice until a little bit ago. Namely, food that you gather will rot if not used. Picked up some fish and some meat from some beasts and after a day or so it is now rotten. Also getting wet not only drains your stamina faster, as you are weighed down by wet clothes, but mages cannot cast fire magic when wet, not to mention your lantern will go out if you're in water. And the dread when the sun begins setting and you're a long way from a town or outpost. My god, the dread!
I also like the little touches like when you're out of stamina and bent over breathing heavily, your pawn will come up to you and touch your back and ask if you're okay or tell you to take it easy.
Little things, but I like them. Gives the game a very unique feel. Also forms a pretty cool bond with your main pawn that I didn't think would be there. I figured they'd just be a pack mule or something, but I find myself genuinely caring about my pawn.
I'll take no v-synch over stuttering framerate.
