Because of some big changes you are recommended to create a new character with this version.

Added

World

• Museum side activity that lets you go treasure hunting for neat rewards.
• Museum artifact displaying. Interact with one of the exhibitions to enter a 3D viewing mode of the artifact.
• Bunch of new notes to Notice Boards.
• Signs on village entrances with the village name on it. These are invisible when playing in Hardcore mode.
• New quests and areas to the Sedresh region.
• Time of Day lighting updates to the Sedresh region.
• New container system that allows you to choose which items to pick up.
• Enemies now drop loot bags with their items, instead of dropping all the items directly on the ground.
• Fists as a default melee weapon when you have nothing else equipped.
• Made some enemy NPCs not attack you if dressing up as their faction. Will be expanded upon in the future.
• Instead of loading your last save, dying now sends you back to your home instead. You can change your spawning location at inns or taverns by renting a bed or buying a drink. After dying, you must wait 24 hours in game before you can use that spawn location again.
  • You can still load the game if you wish. 

Interface

• New screen for viewing Museum Artifacts.
• Location markers for Sedresh region to World Map in the menu.

• Traders now have the correct faction applied to them that adjusts pricing.

Changed

World

• Added more detail to most cities and villages.

Misc

Items

• Some item description tsyops.
