Notable list of tweaks
- Agility now affects player speed. The more agility you have, the faster you'll move.

- Stacked items now shows proper values and weight and the amount of weight is now shown in red if the item would overencumber.
- Grabbing owned items (As in moving the item and not adding it into your inventory) now counts as stealing, just like in Oblivion.

- HP/AP bars are shown in red if either is low.

- Terminal hacking and pickpocketing are improved:
- Pickpocketing takes account into weight, NPC perception and how they'll detect you.

- Living Anatomy now shows the amount of damage resistance an NPC has.

- Fast-travelling in short distances no longer changes weather.
- Right mouse button, Tab or LT on the controller can be used to exit out of the V.A.T.S. killcam, in case something happens that makes the game stuck on the killcam.
