*You will notice a significant amount of bushes and trees that weren't present in the vanilla version.
*Fire spreads were already good in vanilla, now the spread is closer to that of Far Cry 2
*Also includes improvements to god rays, fog, and the presentation of the sky and clouds.
*More specifically adjusting the weird vanilla bug where the moon will move according to your player movement.
-Unlocks all weapons/ammo/maps from the beginning
*But they all have a price tag (nothing is free in this world)
*Better crafting, removing the need for special animal skins.
-No more skill requirements like going undetected in an enemy camp or gaining karma from random events
-Removes the intro videos, for quicker start up time!
-Reduces HUD items, but no so much that you don't know what to do
-Removes the horrible main menu start up bug where it sometimes switches to window mode
-More Karma events for XP
-More animal spawns (currently too many Dholes, but working on a fix), but honey badgers show up more often for that last weapon slot.
-More random events like stealing cargo truck or taking out convoy
