1. The kett lighting apparatus on Habitat 7 has a sound attached to it now. That was not there before. Noticed it when you go into the lab building.
2. I could swear Kandros never had a tattoo vertical on his mouth before.
3. Depth of Field graphical option added. Kills frame-rate, but looks pretty good.
4. Music seems...louder or more obvious.
5. A general pass on all story cutscenes seems to have been made on facial animations. Brows tend to not exaggerate as much when moving.
6. General lighting seems to be different somehow.
7. Outfits for generic AI NPCs has a blue border on the shoulders now as opposed to white. Basically the Ryders have different colored outfits compared to the others.
8. Cora's walk following Tann after first speaking with Addison is normal.
What have you guys noticed that's changed?

Noticed health regeneration is nerfed or bugged, doesn't seem to work at all like before the patch even the associated skills.

The eyes don't move as frantically, the Tempest is really active now, I hear louder music and the shaders have toned down the brightness making hair, eyes and skin more natural and expressive. Cora and Liam have new clothing and I find even when fighting in battle, things seem to be moving smoother.

I haven't been able to play it yet, but has anyone notice an improvement in the turian skins? Are they still monochromatic?

mordivier , Kandros always had that tattoo. The updated lighting is a tremendous improvement. The facial animations added have already neutralized many of the most infamous parts of the game. Updates that no one has mentioned include rebalancing weapons, and altering game balance on Insanity difficulty. (I'm not sure about other difficulties.) Now, enemies on Insanity are no longer such bullet sponges. Instead, they drop pretty quickly, but deal substantially more damage. This makes Insanity gameplay much better, since it punishes sloppy play, and avoids being "grindy".

The insanity gameplay difference was the first thing I noticed. Wow...so much an improvement.

Well my "break free" button is broken again. I rebinded Interact to 'F' but for some reason it doesn't change the "break free" button. I had a method that fixed it before:
1/ Go to My Documents\Bioware\Mass Effect Andromeda\save\ 2/ open ProfOpts_profile with a text editor (notepad) 3/ look for the line GstKeyBinding.Keybindings.Concept_Interact.2.button 33 (the last number is the key you remapped "use" to, in my case the F key, 33) 4/ now look for the line GstKeyBinding.Keybindings.Concept_ButtonMashActive.1.button 255 Replace 255 (or the last number, whatever it is) with the number you remapped your "use" key to. In my case, this looks like this now : GstKeyBinding.Keybindings.Concept_ButtonMashActive.1.button 33
But it's broken again after today's patch. Anyone know of a fix?

Huh...I figured the clothing change was because of the NG+ I started post-patch. Guess not, but still cool.

- During the dance scene in Scott/Reyes romance, Scott now looks into Reyes's eyes rather than at something above him. - Motion blur option.

I noticed at least on regular PS4 an even smoother framerate while im running around Kadara at least.
I also did notice some loadings were being overall faster as well.
There was a new sidequest that popped up for me on the nexus museum exhibit place, that was not there before at least for me.
And well everything else reported here as well, I can't wait to start my 2nd playthrough today. Is it safe to do new game plus? Cuz I heard some bugs doing that.

Not sure if I can call this subtle but I got 3 new emails (2 from Peebee, one from Aksul) which seem like they should have arrived earlier but didn't trigger. Also got a new quest in the log now, related to Peebee's emails: Task: Collect Remnant Cores Also notice a lot of the other changes people have mentioned here. Pretty neat! EDIT: Dammit, Nomad Shield Crafting Task is still broken. I was so hoping... EDIT 2: Ok, I get that many wanted to skip the galaxy map travel animations but WHY did they have to always have that "Press TAB to skip" prompt visible? I hate visible prompts and this one is smack in the middle of what is IMO one of the most beautiful parts of the game. Print a manual and get rid of the ever visible prompts again for gods sake! Also, I don't like that the subtitles are now visible above the dialogue wheels. I don't like subtitles either and since they already come in while the dialogue line is still playing and since they are almost in the middle of the screen as they need to be above the wheel, the are distracting as hell.

I restarted just to see how the intro changed, so far the animations are a bit better I also think everything looks better. Probably the new lighting, habitat seven just looked prettier than I remember especially the sky, not saying it didn't look good before but it's deffo better for me anyway. Also might be because the textures are loading faster now.

It's not every character, and it's subtle enough that it took me a while to really notice it, but even beyond the shading and stuff done to improve the eyes, the eyelids have more life to them. Not just blinking, but the upper lid lowers a bit at times during conversations. That, as much as the improvements to the eyes themselves, gets rid of a HUGE amount of the "plastic doll" look in the release build.
It didn't bother me too terribly much the last couple of weeks, but after seeing the improvements, I'm VERY happy about how things are looking. More improvements would be welcomed, and I think Bioware said more are coming, but I'm really liking the direction the game is headed now, visually.

The Forgotten history quest now actually points me in the map where I need to go specifically. Before it would not indicate that anywhere, just said visit these planets. So I'm enjoying doing a lot more post game sidequests right now.

Ive sold the same gear/guns/mods 3 times because it returns to your inventory after dying. Not sure if I was supposed to get a free helmet for NG+ BUT aside from the girls colours its an awesome helmet that showed up out of nowhere I'm going to start over to see if I can get my name back the game changed it to Scott again. NG+ seems really buggy though atm. Edit: 2 hours till i can play.....I'm excited for some reason.

Peebee no longer fires her Carnifex at her own face on Eos (seriously Bioware, this should not have made it past QA)
Addison's makeup looks slightly normal now.
Lighting across the board looks different, usually better.
Motion Blur and depth of field are now separate options. Needless to say I turned motion blur off immediately.
Eyes and facial animations look better. The improvements aren't massive, but they are noticeable.
Also, glad to hear Insanity has changed. I might change my second save's difficulty to that.
