Let's discuss some random hypothetical situations
So, I wonder, what would Entity do if 1) Some survivor becomes way too skillful avoiding killers. Killers just can't catch him - he is way to quick, agile and mindful of surroundings. This happens from trial to trial and slowly becomes regular thing. 2) Some survivor just don't afraid of dying - and willingly die for other…

The Entity getting involved in trials?
So with endgame collapse the Entity is getting more involved with the trials. Does this mean it is impatient and just wants some dinner or it is helping the killer?

The truth the devs don't want you to know
The entity, the big bad of the franchise, the puppet master contorting killers into an endless chase with survivors for both its amusement and sustenance. But what is the entity in its true form? It's Nea... Jk But follow me down the rabbit hole as we figure out everything about this great evil in what I like to dub "the…

So...are all the survivors dead?
I recently read Jane’s bio and I think it’s implying she crashed? But if you read Kate’s or Claudette’s or Meg’s bio it’s like they disappeared into thin air? So are they all dead? And is the Entity’s realm basically a never ending hellscape?

A survivor's last though
The horror and the suffering I’ve been through is unfathomable, limitless and eternal. I have no understanding of it, nor do I care anymore. I’m an empty shell compared to who I was, to who I wanted to be. Hope has faded away and all that remains is eternal darkness, endless silence, nothing… The thoughts rush to me, lost…

Cosmetic Posters
I’ve always wondered about the cosmetic posters and if they are tied into the lore in any way. If they are like the one above are the survivors able to go back in time or travel places? Does the entity make these realms as well? There’s also a Jane poster with her painting The Trapper and it came into my mind if the…

No Kids?
How come there are no children present in the Entity's world? No kid survivors or kid killers? Wouldn't kids be an easier target since they are easily prone to losing hope and do the bidding of the entity?

An attempt at understanding and describing the dimensions of DbD
Dimension 0 (The Dream World): Only used by Freddy to use his abilities. Dimension 1 (The Trials): Where the in-game action takes place. The Entity starts generating the map from within the trial, going off memories of the killers and in rare cases the survivors. She decides where everything goes, and if she shows a little…

How Legion works
So I've been wondering how the Legion technically works. After discussion I've had with a friend about how the legion work for the entity. Granted I've never been one who's had the impression that the Legion with fused into one body it's never made sense to me as we all have different body types and skin tones. It also…

Survivors personalities in the Fog
From what we've seen from Benedicts journal entries at least up until Kate anyway every survivor seems to react differently in the Fog to be others. My question is who do you think is the nicest Survivor to their fellow survivors and who do you think it's the worst Personally I think it's between Kate or David for who is…

What happens after survivors escape?
Where do they go? Do they all go and grab a coffee or ?
-
Possible different way survivors could become killers?
I know when a survivor runs out of hope, they are cast into the void by the entity instead of the old theory they become killers. but what if a survivor that is still in the trials snaps, and murders a fellow survivor during a trial? would the entity accept them as a killer?
-
Who'd win in a 4 way fistfight?
Tapp, David, Jeff or Jane? This isn't a troll post but I genuinely think Jane can bellybounce them.

Измерения
В мире Сущности существуют множество измерений, с одними и теми же маньяками, или когда один игрок играет за одного убийцу, а другой за этого же, но в разных играх это просто игровая условность и каждая игра происходит по порядку? Тогда почему в игре может попасться несколько одинаковых сурвов?

Character headcanons?
I don't know if I ship them, but I believe Amanda admires Michael's way of how he contains himself, as Kramer would have wanted, how Michael doesn't let himself be known to others, he can be calm and reserved and in an instant, his urge to kill from his stalking turns him into a blood thirsty monster, filled with rage,…

Escaping the Trial
Whenever a survivor escapes the match, what if: (By Hatch Only) They still have the Reverse Bear Trap on them The Plague's Sickness Legion's Deep Wound (Actually, that can be healed by other campfire survivors easily, no problem.) Doctor's Madness Still in Dream World (Well, other Campfire Survivors can wake you up, easy…

Survivors becoming killers
We haven't actually seen it yet, but there have been tales, that if a survivor was to lose all hope, they would eventually be forced to become a killer. Do you see this happening at any point in the future? If not, why? Could we maybe see Benedict as a killer later on? And what would be Nea's reasons to reveal herself to…

Proof killers talk to each other
Alright, so each killer has a perk called a "Teachable" perk, when you hit 30/35/40 on your level, you have to buy one, but that and the shrine are the only ways of getting them, so that means that specific killer is teaching the others how to use that to there full advantage, sounds absurd, but works

The Entity's True Biological Makeup
So, the big baddie of the Dead By Daylight lore, the same thing we see kill us after 2 minutes of staring at a Leatherface on a hook, is one character we know next to nothing about and is really only known on the wiki. One large question I and others in the community ask is this: what is the Entity made of? Of course…

Does Hillbilly have leprosy?
The disease gives you painful boils on your skin and it is very contagious, was hillbilly born with this disease? He was kept away locked inside a tiny room for most of his life, yeah his parents were just cruel and evil to him but maybe they didn't want to get it so they locked him up not knowing there was a cure. The…

If the Hag is constantly hungry, then why does she burn the survivor pudding?
I may have read it wrong somewhere, but what I got from Benedict Cumberbatch Baker, is that the offerings are burned in the fire. And I assume this applies to the killers, they throw their offerings into the fire. The Hag has a Kirby like stomach, in which it is never full, and wants more, that's why she kills, for food.…

The Legion Group
Frank: Every college wanted Frank, they were aware of his bad history but they were ready to make compromise, they knew of his speed and his athletic prowess, whatever it would take for Frank to come about of these high schools would occur at high priority, Frank didn't carry much academic interest, what was important to…

Licensed characters (movies)
What would happen if the license characters lost hope? who would be killer and who would go to the void? I think Quentin would go to the void because he would not have the courage to kill an innocent person,and we all know that that does not help the entity What is your opinion?

Is Vigo the hooded figure from the hallowed blight?
I've always had it in my mind that the hooded figure seen in the hallowed blight cut scenes was Vigo but i'm unsure

What happened to Benedict Baker?
Am I the only one wishing they'd bring back the flavor text from this guy's adventures? It added a lot to getting to know both survivors and killers! Have the devs said anything about it that I'm unaware of?

Legion's power, but medical
Is legion about to blackout when they use their power? Medically, when you are about to blackout, you will start to have darkness or black appear in your eyesight, then if it persists you will blackout

End Game lore
With the new introduction of the End Game collapse footage, it appears as if the Entity is finally getting fed up...The question is, what would've caused something like this? Survivors having too much hope, maybe even being too cocky to the point where the Entity finally got fed up? It seems odd that this is NOW happening…
-
Weakest killers?
Which killers would get beaten up by the strongest survivors (David King, Jeff or Jane. Jane because she charges at a killer with Head on so it's safe to assume she's not a weakling). Which killers would lose against one of these survivors in a fistfight. Trapper would straight up crush them, not a chance any of them would…
-
The insane meta-lore this game has.
I wanted to start his discussion by saying I was inspired by a video to right this. Although I cannot link/remember the video exactly, briefly explaining it; It was about survivors winning the game with wraith looking defeated at the end gate, then they all appear back at the campfire, the fog appears and a new survivor…

Will the entity keep the promise?
So they promised Rin she'd get her revenge, and will the Entity let Rin kill her father, or are they tricking her? I personally think Rin is far too great of a threat for the entity to lie to her. But hey, what do I know.

Where is Benedict Baker's quotes on the last few Killers?
On the Dbd Wiki, one thing I particularly enjoyed was reading Benedict Baker's quotes on Killers. However, it appears we don't have one for Spirit, Legion, or Plague. What happened?

The originals
In this trailer we see 2-3 (dont know about the one on the hook) survivors that are not in the game do we have any information on them? will they make an appearance? @Detective_Jonathan you're the biggest Lore expert Ive seen so do you know anything?

Funniest Killer Encounter.
I was playing a SWF and I recently bought Dwight cosmetics, I was running Resilience, Prove Thyself, Leader and Dead Hard, I was blasting "You was at da club" - Boy Boy West Coast, I worked on two gens by myself and opened exit gates, never was touched by this Hillbilly that I saw zooming, never spotted, my friend got…

Does anyone know how the golden toolboxes are connected to the lore?
The developers said in this stream: ??? That the golden toolboxes were connected to the lore somehow but I dont know that anyone has figured out how yet. (also someone asked during a QnA "What is with that golden toolbox" and the devs replied with "Yeah, they were golden. And they're always out of reach. And there's more…
-
Story mode?
Im curious on peoples thoughts of a possible story mode in the future. My idea would be that you take each killer and survivor and give them a 2-3 game scenario in which we explore how they got there what happens while they're there and what the endgame is. kinda want it for lore purpose but a bonus could be good practice…
-
The deadites and demons
So, would the entity be able to pull one of the deadites or demons from Ash vs evil dead into its realm? The demon Baal was kinda like the main antagonist for most of the show so I was wondering if the entity would be able to pull in another demon to do its bidding. @Detective_Jonathan I trust you with this case...

Which Survivors are good at Flashlight Saves.
(this clip above, you can't see me, but you know it's me simply because i am the only one who mainly plays Detective Tapp) Flashlight saving is a skill only a few survivors can come across, it is also the only method of actually fighting back against the killer, the bright light shattering the connection with The Entity…
-
Why Don't Survivors Fight Back
As the title states, "Why don't survivors fight back?" I feel like 4 grown people can take one killer especially someone as fragile or small like The Hag and The Pig.
-
Where are they running?
At the end of the trial the killer and survivor are running in what looks like the same place. I saw on forums that the killer gets teleported hence the burning on your screen once trial ends but then why are they running?
-
I just realized something about Ash
He might be the first survivor to actually speak. The devs have stated that the survivors prefer to not talk simply because they want to remain focused or something along the lines of that. But Ash, he's a different story, he would most likely be aggravating the killer with insults and so on. And in the studio, he looked…
-
Cosmetics
I know there probably isn’t a lore reason but why do characters get new clothes? Is the entity just like “oh honey those rags you been wearing just won’t do anymore, here take this” and gives them new outfits. How does cosmetics fit into the lore?
-
Ashley J williams...
So about ash's hand, what exactly happened? I get the entity would not want him to have a shotgun and chainsaw. But the robo hand just doesnt fit...any speculations on what exactly his hand might be?

Every LORE related question Devs answered. (81 Questions and Some Answers) # 1.
Ok so, I've put up every interesting/revealing LORE-related question since Devstream Summary n.6 to n.100. Why? I prefer coming back to one thread than going throught the numerous devstream summaries. Enjoy reading. EDIT : Most questions were answered by Ash, Dave and Mathieu Coté. EDIT 2 : Edited format cause the font was…

Do survivors and killers have memories?
I'm sorry if this has been discussed I saw one about the memories of the trial but I want to know people's thoughts on other memories. For example would the plauge remember the temple? Would freedy remember the pre school? This also brings me to Jeff would he recognise his own art work? Would the pig remember tapp? I would…
-
Is the Entity growing soft?
From what I recall, the Entity would never allow killers to meet each other, and I always interpret it as the entity being worried that if all the killers joined forces they can possible fight back or weaken it. The Entity would make sure to keep the killers under control and have them focused on their objective of killing…
-
This could be implemented as an easter egg
they could add a trophy to dbd called Insinuation. This trophey would be obtained by sacrificing a survivor in order to kill the killer. The way this would work is all 4 survivors go into a game and they all have to collect fragments of the trap door. But instead of this being a normal trapdoor this would lead to the…
-
Why does the entity need a middle man?
There needs to be much more fleshing out of the entities motivations, because as things stand, this dark God doesn't really make any sense. Apparently, it is powerful enough to warp reality and trap mortals into an alternate plain of reality, block their routes of escape, interact with the physical world (destroying…

Quick Recap
Im hoping some of those more knowledgeable would help me fill in gaps with a quick summary (or not so quick if you would like to spell it out for me) on what the entity is whats going on why and maybe provide a spot of proof? I want to know more about this game and its lore but from reading whats in game I keep confusing…
