When you reach a checkpoint sign, your location, inventory, and quest progress is saved. Dialog is now triggered by the NPC and not location based. Close-up camera shots have been removed until future updates with face/mouth animation. There are some camera / UI bugs still being worked out Sasquatch has been spotted! V…
