Great summary!
Here are my initial thoughts:
New UI for Ability Checks during cutscenes: Yay! Really looking forward to using spells in conversations!
Background goals: Great to have something connected to backgrounds, but I will have to wait and see what these are.
Camp setting now matches the place where you sleep: The previous camp was fine with me, but I know many disliked it. Hopefully this will be a big improvement for them!
Rest system : new mechanism, resource management: I hate resource management, so I will have to see how annoying this is.
Jump and Disengage: Fine with me.
Concentration can now be stopped: Yay!
New combat actions:Sounds good.
Visual effects for spells: Yay!
