I can use trees to climb over streams and rivers now!  Swimming is for chumps.

You can also get a running start and jump over them like a pro.

I hope there will eventually be cities with multilevel buildings so I can scale them and jump from rooftop to rooftop with stolen goods.

I like the attack modifiers - using a quick or wild attack when against a well-defended opponent, or a precise slash to sever the head of an unconscious foe......

[Robsoie]

The new stealth , climb and jump are great fun to roleplay some infiltrating/spying character

Once the game will crash much less (because unfortunately it does a lot now) when retiring fortress and go back in adventurer mode, then go back into fortress, it will be some great fun to design some stunt/parkour tracks

I like the subtle behaviors I've been observing in fortress dwarves when idle or on break. It's rare to see them just sit around in a meeting area forever, most are actively milling about the fort, as if looking for something to do. Some individuals prefer to actually go outside and take a walk, maybe climb a tree. Granted, that can lead to trouble later on, but for the early years I played in it was perfectly acceptable and gave me something to look at while I waited for stuff to get done.

There was also the sleepwalking incident, but I haven't seen that again. A blacksmith fell asleep at the forge and proceeded to move to the nearest bed while already sleeping. If it's a bug, I propose that one stays.

That would be great if it worked in reverse, so that maybe one dwarf in a hundred regularly conks out as normal and from there gets up, collects a sock, wanders to the food stockpile, drops the sock, stumbles back to his bed with a slab of meat in hand and later wakes up very confused and missing a sock. And then opens a cold case about who's been stealing all his clothes.

I haven't played for more than about a season, but I've already seen a couple new things that amazed me.

I genned a world to play a Dwarven adventurer in, only to find that the only remaining bastion of the Dwarven civilisation was a ruined fort based in the extreme North-East of the map, separated from the rest of the world by an expanse of freezing glaciers and tundra, so I had nowhere to source an adventurer from. Instead I had to reclaim the ruin and try to expand the civilisation from there, which is a noble goal to have.

My favourite, though, is the new thoughts/status screen info, which allowed me to have fun before the game even began by giving me seven flimsy, clumsy, weak, emotionally turbulent dwarves to reclaim this ruin with. One of them was deeply conflicted with himself in a very reasonable way, but seemed stable despite it, while another was inflamed with hatred, a nervous wreck, hated people and had no idea why.

I like that time moves, makes the world feel more alive

[de5me7]

the time moving + simulated world stuff is the big one for me.

Can you post the seed for that world?

Even if they make multi level buildings, you can't climb smooth stone walls. 

[dennislp3]

ladders, obejects, and creative use of elevations to jump up?

Also I really like:
The new fear/discipline system
combat changes
and moving world with claims and positions getting appointed properly after death and stuff

[Uncertain]

Can you post the seed for that world?

I presume I have to export the XML data of the world in Legends mode to do that, but I can't abandon the fort to enter Legends because it now crashes at 'Loading local animal populations' whenever I try to enter Fort mode. ;_;

Curse you, local animal populations.

[palu]

Not the XML, just the params. I don't suppose you made a backup?

Edit: Maxim 41: "Do you have a backup?" means "I cant fix this".

[Sergarr]

Inevitability of everything is my favorite new feature.

[TheCoolSideofthePIllow]

I think once the kinks are worked out, the dialogue and story mechanics will be my favorite new thing.

There is a lot is cool stuff there, but currently not working as intended.

At the very least, people need more passion and there needs to be more hostility. Everything seems just way too peaceful and nihilistic. Which is funny, but it will wear off soon.

Meanwhile, I've watched 3 city populations literally tear themselves a part as soon as I set foot in the site.
