Among other elements, cataclysm features detailed character creation, bionics, mutations, an unbounded, three-dimensional world map that is persistent between characters, item crafting, realistic fire, smoke, and other dynamic map effects, NPCs with dialog, item trading, and party formation, a quest system, randomized factions with their own economies and long-term goals, a day/night cycle with the need to sleep, and a plethora of real-world guns, drugs, and tools.
Cataclysm is still in alpha, and should be expected to be riddled with bugs.  Please do not exploit these bugs and run shellcode on squidnet.
