I don't think there's anything about it that hasn't been done before, it's just really excellent at what it does. The characters make me care about them, the writing is good, the voice acting is great, it oozes style, the graphics are great (and sometimes truly beautiful).
They really put in effort into detail. The various petting animations for foxes. The different end-of-mission bits with your horse. Tons of small stuff is done so well. I really like how it guides you to your chosen waypoint.. it doesn't just put a marker on a compass or beam of light in the sky to break your immersion, the wind blows in the direction of your destination, and you can hit a key to gust up the wind to see more clearly.
