In this image we see humans being strung up by their feet and literally drained of blood. A truly gruesome scene. But thankfully the vampires have some decency and let the dead humans keep their undergarments.

Censorship in general is bizarre, but this really breaks immersion that the vampires are cruel monsters. The game does feature nudity, but I guess making these victims naked would've been too much.

Coen looks so miserable when she tells him that they can't be together. Genuinely broke my heart. My boy can't catch a break.

We are talking about a man who is in his late teens/early twenties, who for his entire life has been a simple silver miner/young farmer. As the eldest child, he carried heavy responsibilities, supporting his parents and looking after his younger siblings. That is it.

One night he receives the “gift” of being turned into something he doesn’t even fully understand. Despite that he starts gathering allies (or solo, depending on your choices) with the intent of overthrowing literal god-like beings like Brencis and his boyars. And he keeps grinding and focusing on the goal of saving his family and many more people.

I see so many comparisons online to him and Geralt - the most obvious one since the core people in the Rebel Wolves dev studio were part of CD Project Red’s Witcher series.

Geralt is a witcher, since small child he has been trained by literal cold blooded assassins and warriors. Fantastic protagonist as well, but COMPLETELY different case to Coen’s.

I am actually relieved that Coen is not the typical edgelord “badass” that we see in most games and that he gradually turns into something better. His development even throughout this first game is great, in my eyes.

Also, in the next game or the game after that, I am 100% sure Coen will be very different and more mature, and maybe only then it would be fair to compare him to the other supposed “badasses”. Again, I am not throwing shade at all to Geralt or other protagonists, the point here is different.

Do you like our main protagonist, what are your thoughts about him?

Does he ever need to sleep at all? Do vrakhiri never sleep? Or is it just dawnwalkers never sleep? So many questions..

Stripping away all your gear and consumables, without warning, then locking the player into a day/night timer, with a series of mini-bosses.

I don't appreciate getting railroaded down unavoidable sequences while naked with a grey sword and no healing consumables despite having gathered and crafted hundreds.

Dawnwalker has gotten a lot of criticism on this sub and im not sure I understand most of it. I have 13 days left and have been having an absolute blast. Easily my GOTY so far. Yes it has rough edges and things that could be cleaned up but the writing is superb, the quests and locals are awesome, the way things connect together and the way you actually FEEL your choices and their impact is so cool, the voice acting is uniformly great, the combat once you get into it and get past the learning curve is excellent, the sense of progression is really solid, and i adore the time mechanic. People freaked out early because it's daunting and different but as you play, you realize you have plenty of time for everything major and the swapping between night and day works really well.

Idk man, I fucking love this game and am having such a great time. It's right up there with Witcher 3, KCD2, etc for immersive RPGs and I am really intrigued at how everything is going to come together (no spoilers!) Has anyone else felt this way or is it just me?

Pretty much the title, all they do is come up with random “we’re gonna wing it” plans that just result in mass amounts of people dying and their just like “it was for a good cause” and accomplish fuck all. The whole silver mine plan resulted in the entire town getting raised with nothing to show for it (exception being coen) but that was just luck bc he had silver in his blood. And almost every other encounter in the world with them is a group of them being wiped out or mass tortured by the Kynaz military. And don’t even get me started on the endgame plan they have.

There's way too many cool things for it to not have one. Photo mode is basically free marketing pics these days. On an unrelated note, the ultimate sword feels well earned in this game.

He just decided to throw hands with a vampire holy crap.

Always listen to your instincts and butcher all the guards in 10miles radius.

I finished the game some days ago, and maybe it was my gameplay or the choices I made, but I’m a littleeee bit disappointed... I found the boyars’ design so phenomenal and beautiful, it gave me so much inspiration. And I’m kinda disappointed that I only got to see them for such a short period, basically just during the boss fight. I would’ve loved to see Ambrus in more scenes....

I think i might like Anca more than Triss or Yen. Someone cooked here...
