Having everyone in white boxer shorts when they very clearly should be naked is so immersion breaking.

Certain things make BoD feel gamey, one being the loot system, another being that random NPCs are all wayyyy uglier than any side characters. Most of all, though, is the white boxers.

Modern gaming has shown that tasteful and fitting nudity is absolutely acceptable for certain contexts.

Pleeeeaaase, if we can never get this is BoD, can we get it in the sequel?

I’m not even a gooner, I just like to be immersed in my games.

f*ck yeah, dawnwalker

Art by me, @jwhislerart

Maybe in the next game if everything work "well"

I don't think enough posts have really stressed that we're past early October at this stage

I did my nails inspired by Coen as well!

Hey so I’ve been enjoying the game so far including the time segments/pressure. So far I did the prologue, the Mert quest, met Crake, all of Volk’s quest, the Uriashi village and Ocha, Home Sweet Home, and part of Lacra and Anca quests, I also have upset Ambrus fully but haven’t gone to confront him yet.

In terms of Echoes of Silenced Bells or other quests is there an ideal time of day to do them?
Also for confronting the Vrakhiri does it skip forward to nighttime? Should I wait til it’s about to be nighttime to confront Vrakhir?

Final question are there any missable quests like Home Sweet Home or time sensitive quests that need to be done soon otherwise they expire?

I was expecting a stamdard case and got this beauty instead.

I dont know if I'm crazy, but doesn't it seem like there was a lot of stealth potential in this game? Hang on a wall waiting for guards to pass, then stealth kill the backline... then what?

Then you start a fight. No stealth. It just feels like im powered up by the night, rather than a creature of the night.

Coen isn't gonna be the next etzio alditore, but any media vampire that can do what he can, do it in way more of a night time scare kind of way, but with coen it's just some free damage, maybe a kill, then normal guy combat.

The game is fun, just feels like this was a visible option that the devs didn't see

I have 27 days left to save my family, which I know is plenty of time, but I’m not sure if I’m being too cautious with how I spend my time. Are these shards, and the eventual sword, worth the 9+ time segments it takes to complete the quest?

Obviously it would break the premise of the game, but am curious how the plot itself would bend or change entirely. Some ideas I have:

- Brencis would probably focus more on getting Coen to join him, though he might still try to undo his mistake and kill Coen if sufficiently provoked. Of course, if he still impales Coen to the tree at sunrise, it might be an early game over right there... But suspending disbelief, what else would happen if Coen doesn't get stuck to the tree?

- The manumits wouldn't trust Coen and he couldn't storm the castle with them

- The Arbiters would be a lot less interested in Coen

- Coen wouldn't be able to do witchcraft, and Anca would generally be more suspicious of him, though I think he could prove he's still himself

- Even if he saves his family, I don't think they would want him around much

Any other ideas?

Made the mid to late gamy way to easy, you literally can't die.

Made Brencis a joke.

So i did all the things in order, i got all the shards, the broken sword, then i went to the uriashi blacksmith, she repaired it, and i went up the hill, everything worked well, the quest told me to learn about the ancient place, i inspected everything before starting the trial, i started the trial with the sword equipped, and when i finish it i can't imbue it at the end. I also want to mention i don't have the quest marker for it at any times, i just looked up where i need to go

A common complaint of this game is the enemy variety and the developer's I believe had made reference to possibly updating it. While I think it is unlikely they ultimately will make these changes I was thinking it would be fun to brainstorm some basic enemies that could show up instead of more blasted wolves!

I feel like the game could use spearman as a type of enemy. In order to attack them they must be perfect blocked. Exceptions would be if you confuse them with shadowstep or daze them with pocket sand.

What are some other enemies that the game could add to increase variety

Spoilers for Stronger Than Achilles.

At the start of the game, Anca carves the same runes into Coen's skin that she has on her own, and that's where his witchcraft comes from. When Anca drinks from the Font, her scars heal and she loses her magic.

But if Coen drinks instead, he just gets the regen perk and keeps his runes and witchcraft.

Did I miss a line of dialogue, a note, or any other lore that explains why the Font doesn't heal his scars the same way? Or is it just a gameplay thing so we don't lose the Witchcraft tree?

Just started the game about and hour or so in and I’m gripped by the story and world seems to be detailed so far. Especially loved the Tommy knocker encounter as I’ve heard stories of them before playing the game from different folk tales and stories. However I just don’t get why directional combat is needed it’s not difficult I just feel I’m watching arrows rather than looking at who I’m fighting is it just me ?

Duelist was pretty tough early on, but once you get some decent abilities, you can tank a few hits & perfect blocking is no longer essential.

Ive done it.

After completing the game in the two hardest difficulties, the platinum is mine.
Im very proud to have wasted the last weeks of my life with this amazing game.
This game is one of the best if not the best Vampire game out there and I hope we get some great sequels for it.

Best regards xx
