I'll try to keep things short and simple, yet it still might be... quite long. You have been warned.
1. New shopping system.
It feels nice to pick up items from tables and shelves instead of talking to shoopkeeper. It surely put some life to it, but, in my opinion, it's rather a downgrade not worth your time and effort. Either it doesn't show item icons, status effects, statistics and descriptions of items (Potion Shop) which are rather important things to show or it's basically a map of shop with multiple shopping events to check. Which is rather unnecessary work for you to set up and unnecessary walking and checking for a player who just want to buy few items he needs for crafing or sell useless junk from his inventory instead of just talking to people working there. Making a walk around shop would be satisfying if rewarded with option to buy a rather uncommon, rare or epic item, not generic ones.
But I have to agree this system put a limit on how much player can buy, because, let's be honest, gathering gold isn't a huge problem. Making limit on how much player can buy is great idea to balance gameplay, because in order to have enough potions player have to travel around the world. Having 999 of every potions and basically every item in the inventory doesn't feel very RPG'ish, not puting pressure on proper inventory managment during gameplay and battles.

you can put a limit on shop stock without having to make ten shops on one map, thus saving your time and work for more important stuff.
2. Quests.
It would be nice if you could add more detailed descriptions in the quest log or add descriptions with quest advancing, because sometimes it's not helpful at all. Today, for example, I was doing that sword and six gems quest. After buying a gem in jelwery store in central I learned about bandits, but... I had to prepare a dinner, so I turn off the game and went to kitchen. When I wanted to continue the quest I just didn't know where I had to go, because the objective was to "find a gem" and nothing more.
