New Features

Complete Race Portrait Set

Added ANSI art portraits for Gnoll, Gnome, Human, Hobbit, and Mutant races during character creation, and replaced the Elf portrait with improved art. The side-by-side preview now shows a detailed portrait on the left with race stats on the right. All 10 playable races now have portraits.

New ANSI Art Splash Screen

Replaced the hand-drawn ASCII title screen with a full-color ANSI art splash screen featuring a detailed illustration with embedded "USURPER REBORN" title text. Credits and version info displayed below the art.

Bug Fixes

Removed Broken Faction Redeem Missions

Faction redeem missions (offered as random NPC petitions when entering locations) never worked correctly and have been removed entirely. The faction standing system, bounty blood price, and quest completion standing boosts remain functional. This removes ~300 lines of dead code across the petition, quest, and quest hall systems.
