Including player animated reactions to cold or weather in snowing areas and being wounded enough (arms hunched to keep warm in snowing areas ect). As well as npc physical reactions to fame/infamy faction ect. It also allows you to have better control over your character allowing them to sleep, eat sit on ground play a lute ect.
