A lot of the work I have done on the game for v3 is not as media sexy as the new UI elements. Most of it is just improving scripting functions to make it more powerful and less messy overall, making it a less of a hassle for me, and more accessible to other contributors.

Some of the problems with the scripting has been rectified for V3 with the (| |) brackets that use the existing function library to replace bits of text dynamically and on the spot, instead of choosing between indices, and redirecting the scripting into different paths depending on the variables.

This example uses the existing sex_gate function to insert the appropriate greeting based on the PC sex.

The text replacement functionality is implemented for every possible form of text in the game so item names, tooltips, etc all can use this feature, which opens interesting possibilities for new inventory and map interactions for me and the contributors.
