Graphics are better than original vanilla, but not better than the community patch for HD.

The one thing this does bring that the community patch doesn't: better resource management. This version doesn't make my computer sound like it's trying to take off.

Because this is an overhaul, mods that you're used to using with the old version don't work (yet) on this version.

PROS: Better resource management. Cleaner look out-of-box

CONS: We're back at squre-one with regards to mods. I doubt the original modding community is going to port 50% of the mods out for the original to this version, so user-created content will be lacking going forward.

OVERALL: Meh. Still a fun game. Most likely, I'm going to go back to the older one because the mods I love are there.
