This is a creative pivot from the pre-2016 'Curse of Strahd' aesthetic, mostly focusing on the original 1983 'Ravenloft' and early campaign settings.
If you hold the 2016 playbook dear, we encourage you to enjoy the unmodded experience that can be found here.
However, for those seeking a return to the roots of Barovian horror and a more grounded setting, the Mists await.

► Overview
This patch is a tonal and visual "de-make" of the 2016 campaign influence. With time, we hope to strip away the "soap opera" elements, alter over-flirtatious modern narrative writing, and improve on the general aesthetic of Barovian residents.
- 7 NPCs have been updated.
- 2 Environmental Assets have been improved.
- 1 voiceover option is available for Rahadin.
IMPORTANT NOTICE : Both the original mod and this patch use Virtual Textures. It is advised that once you are finished with the story, you uninstall RR patch to avoid exceeding the VT limit. If you're not using ANY new weapons or gear from the original mod, then it can be safely taken down as well.

► Key Changes and Features
- STRAHD :
- Adopted classic visual aesthetic, drawing from his original, Dracula-inspired roots.
- Refined his features to show that he was turned shortly after the age of 50.
- Removed illithid veins from his face.
- While M Helf 5 is handsome, his soft features are unfitting for Count Strahd, so whole face was updated as well.
- Hair no longer clips with collar and it's no longer the same style that Rahadin wears.
- Adjusted his outfit with a style that covers up previously quite deep décolletage feature.
- This does not alter Strahd's wearable outfit that player can obtain during the story.
- Added sharp, predator-like claws that would sit nicely on an ancient vampire. He is the Land, after all.
- RAHADIN :
- Ancestral accuracy is now representative of earlier descriptions of Dusk Elves, featuring pale skin complexion and light hair.
- In the voiceover update, his thick Barovian accent was removed to reflect his origins of an outsider to the valley.
- The 'BRIDES' and The 'BARD' :
- Adjusted overall complexion and features to reflect their Barovian heritage.
- Redesigned clothing choices to better align with local culture.
- Planning to include more capes and furs in the future updates.
- Mention and inclusion of male consort (Escher) will be altered to instead have him as court bard / attendant.
- ROZALINA :
- Updated her aesthetic to clearly represent her roots as a member of the nomadic vistani people.
- ENVIRONMENT :
- Engraving on the floor platform improved to look like stone instead of a flat sticker.
- Blurry image on the banner now showcases proper Strahd family crest.
