-Lots of graphical changes/additions.
-Hey! My FAVORITE addition. They did sorta what I asked : make combat faster by moving minor mobs together, the swarm mechanic! THATS a great change. The BEST change imho.
-More reactive companions during dialogues! Next patch, please add banters to this!
-The UI looks feels a bit nicer.
-A boatload of more bug fixes...way more than new gameplay/system features sadly. Lots of annoying stuff remains unchanged for now.

I admire how they wanted to do it for every available voice. I would probably think it is not worth the trouble.
