- Protagonist now has more complex motivations.
- Protagonist now remembers key facts about important people. He no longer develops convenient amnesia between cutscenes.
- Protagonist now has a cooldown on certain adverbs. Adverbs have been buffed by 30% to compensate.

- Deuteragonist snark power has been increased to 150, up from 75.
