Love the quirky dialogue in this game. A quest giver sending me after a gang of thieves just told me to go “whip their asses.” 
Also, watching old footage of the original game one thing that really strikes me is the draw distance. Even if you could see the landscape itself pretty far off onto the distance, things like buildings and ruins would only be drawn in when you were pretty close in some cases. So even if you could see your destination in the distance you might not be able to see the castle or whatever that was there. It’s pretty amazing in this new version to see everything from really far away.
