- The tracker spell is applied to the player a second time in case the first assignment fails (for no good reason, mind you).
- Removed a few outdated ITMs and erroneously touched objects.
- The shout power bonus from Champion of Kyne is no longer erroneously capped at 51%; to compensate, it now increases by 2% instead of 5% per 100 favor. This may or may not affect existing playthroughs since it's a script change.
- Iceborn: Damage per target^2 reverted to 60 from 100.

!! The entire quest scripting is overhauled, making it incompatible with the previous versions. !!

For the sake of clarity, the Champion of Kyne quest is split in two: Acolyte of the Voice progresses each time you can meditate for new words, while Champion of Kyne contains the tests of faith. Each single shot quest objective rewards you with an ability, while the repeatable ones don't. (The unholy mess of rewards has been straightened out)

Favor with Kyne is no longer visible. Instead, each time you gain favor, your shouts permanently become more powerful (the "Champion of Kyne" ability now tells you by how much instead of telling you how much favor you have). The Acolyte of the Voice quest progresses in a visible way when you reach the former favor thresholds, but the amount of favor you can get (and therefore the power boost to your shouts) is unlimited.

Several abilities (Nordic Welcome, Scorched Earth) were tossed, but in return you now get the free power buff from favor.

Other changes
- Quest objectives that involve a specific location (Bringing Home Kyne, Pledge) now have quest markers.
- Phantom Decoy shout is now given for free when you are crowned by the Greybeards.
- High Hrothgar Library navmesh is now connected to the High Hrothgar navmesh and has several idle markers for NPCs who end up there.
- Gift of Kyne and Gift of Talos have new effects.
- Leap of Faith no longer fires off a proc but handles everything in one script for improved responsiveness.
- Meditation completion message differentiates between succeeding and learning words vs succeeding when there isn't anything to learn.
- Greybeard Robes of Snow are now given out as reward for a skill challenge involving Iceborn 3.
