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?

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.
