[p]Campfires and torches used to automatically ignite whenever the weather cleared up (torches only at night). Now there must be a character within 2 tiles of the campfire or torch to ignite it again, complete with immersive little game messages and everything. Of course, the player can also light campfires with a flint and steel (or other methods). AI characters don't need flint and steel because fuck you.[/p][p]Status effect tutorials now repeat themselves in Chapter 2 (poisoned, diseased, etc.).
