Overview

  • A free quest titled “A Critical Encounter” introduces Rufino from Critical Role, voiced by Robbie Daymond, as a recruitable ally after completing key story prerequisites
  • The nightmare difficulty mode sharpens enemy AI, tightens parry timing and reduces resource availability to intensify both stealth and combat
  • An expanded open-world alarm system triggers regional alerts when players repeatedly attack civilians or military units outside castles, summoning guardian hunts
  • New customization options include a headgear toggle for cutscenes, VFX overlay controls, selectable horse camera presets and an ultra-low spec mode for older PC hardware
  • Additional content comprises a purchasable Critical Role Weapon Pack alongside bug fixes, localization corrections and visual and audio improvements
