Here is a little idea that can fit very well with the changes on the mechanics.

Wath about (improve) stealth technics? We actually can go unnoticed by crouching, but something interesting would be set traps and bombs when crouching, mislead monsters (for example, when there are 2 monster in the area and they haven´t seen you, you can throw a rock or shoot with your bow/gun to one of the monsters and hide yourself while the monster thinks that the other attacked him, and they start figthing; or throw a rock to a dark place to make the monster think that you are there, thanks to the noise, and you can escape), or stealthy attacks (if the monster has not seen you, you can hit him with a lot of extra potence, for example x10 more powerful. Maybe sounds uberpowered, but there will be only one or two chances in the battle).

Also, that previously mentioned night-day sistem can have influence. In the night, stealth would be easier, but maybe monsters like gigginox or any feline-like monster (thanks to the pupil dilatation in dark areas) will see you independently of the light. Also, the noise influence: if you are moving faster when you crouch, or moving across a floor with creaking dead branches, it´s easier that the monster finds you.
