One thing I noticed that I'm not sure I care for is the combining of notifications into one icon at the top of the screen. In one way, it's great so you don't have 15 icons running across the top of the screen. But in another way, it means that when I have 10 that I don't want to do anything about, but also don't want to hide, I can't quickly and easily notice when there's something that I really want to deal with. I can see myself forgetting to click on (or mouseover) the icon to see what's there and miss something important or at least not address it as quickly as I'd like. Maybe it's optional to expand it?
I also didn't see a minimap. Hopefully it was just hidden. It's helpful to be able to quickly move around the map without having to zoom out and in to do so.
Otherwise, it looks great. I like the humor added to the events. It does look like how things were moved around and changed means I will end up spending a lot of time looking everything over when I first play the game instead of just jumping in feet first.
