realism

There are a few details in-game that are suspension of disbelief breaking:

-torches don't go out in the rain
-capes and smoke do not interact with the wind
-water effects could be better (check out assassin's creed syndicate for awesome boat/water interaction with real wake)

I'd been hoping that these would get addressed through mods, but no luck so far. Anyone else have any particular things that take them out of the immersion?

A good torch shouldn't go out in the rain if built correctly. So feel free to take that off your list.

I don't play video games for realism. I can go outside for that.

I was more thinking about the standing torches, the sconces, etc. None of them have covers, and simply wouldn't burn very well in the middle of the thunderstorm.

But I do play them for immersion.

It's early access and you are looking to the mods to change your pet peeves with no regard what so ever for the 5 devs working on the game.

As for your fire issue, a good well made torch can burn in rain. Sconces and things that use coal or resin normally can burn in rain. Heck, any well made fire can burn in rain.

Do you also talk to huge ravens in your everyday life, hunt goblins and trolls or fight sea monsters on a nice summer day. Realism. Do you see giant trees in the sky or see gods stalking you from the forest. This isn't a simulator of any sort. It's a video game.
Just refund and be happy with your real life.

...trolls, walking corpses, dwarves, sea serpents, dragons and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ TORCHES are the thing you take issue with? Mate, I think you might be in the wrong hobby.

assasin is actually terrible example
different engine = different handling of stuff
