Changed Features

Level Up System

Previously, leveling up on the original game was based on Major Skills. Now the system was changed to a hybrid of Oblivion and Skyrim, where players can increase the Attributes of their character by distrbuting Virtue Points and raise skills by doing actions related to it.

Revamped UI

New UI

The User Interface has received a major overhaul as well, not only visually but also the menu itself, and the shortcuts assigned to the d-pad.

Better Third Person Perspective

Third Person Combat

The improved third person perspective now has a view and feel that is similar to the first person perspective. It has now better functionality and playability even in combat with an over-the-shoulder view.
