If you don't have the attention span to read two pages: in short, you can fish, you can get women drunk, NPC's have real schedules, the expression system is great and you can do cool stuff with it. Also, when fighting a group of bandits, kicking the head of a guy at them whom you just beheaded tends to frighten them. Oh and you can chase bullies away by farting at them.
