The new beta weekend just started, and they've changed a few things. First, they changed the interface, it's quite easy to use but I feel like I get less info about my character. The inventory has changed, you now have a couple of bags to put items into, looks like we got more room for loot overall and it's easy to organize all this stuff. Second, they've added a lot more sidequests which gives players a better to reason to go out and explore. I have about 3 sidequests in my log at all times, each time I finish one a npc has a new one for me. They aren't very exciting quests but as I said, it gives you a good reason to go out of town and explore the lands. And another, less important, change is that armor no longer have level requirements.
So far I'm still having lots of fun playing the game, maybe even more than last time thanks to the new sidequests.
Oh and characters can now dance!
