im not sure which significant changes will be in the upcoming patches.. but id expect skippable map animations at least
when it comes to facial animations, i dont really care about it - but if it is just based around algorithmic implementations rather than hand-rigging and keyframing, then it would certainly be possible to fine-tune them in a generalized way ... but who knows, they may be so embarrased they actually do go back in and personally touch each animation
of course there is no way to "fix" a storyline, and more importantly to me there is no way to add in more dialog options that actually change things or allow you to role-play Ryder in another way besides being a "goody two shoes" .. and in the same way there is not going to be any way to add in a bunch of "hard decisions" that make big changes to which direction the story goes, or which events happen and so forth
anyways, im interested to see what they will do and what they will fix - and whether it will be a genuine effort designed to impress or just some kind of patronizing non-effort designed to placate
