It is a bit weird that they'll change old content to fit in with new quests. Some dialogue isnt a big deal I suppose but Im still bothered every time I see I see how they massacred the old elf npcs to fit the artstyle of the new priff ones

Given what happened with Song of the Elves, the concern is totally understandable, but we’re not trying to do anything like that again. These changes weren’t about retconning things to make our new quest work. The story of Temple of the Eye works totally fine both with and without these changes. Instead, this was some separate work to rectify some unfortunate plot holes and poorly worded dialogue that existed in Rune Mysteries. It only launched alongside Temple of the Eye and Guardians of the Rift because it made sense to release all the wizard focused things at once.
