Lore

Discussions about the Entity's realm

A few questions for a killer concept I'm working on.
The questions are about the Entity (I like to refer to it as a she). So, we know that the Entity doesn't feel emotions like we do, but can she feel emotions similar to curiosity and interest? Is it possible for the Entity to come to an agreement of sorts with someone/something? Since the Entity is a living, biological…
what are the paintings of in Haddonfield?
im not sure if this counts as lore but on haddonfield there are paintings in some (i didnt check every house) of the houses. some look LIKE other maps e.g. crotus prenn asylum and others dont look like maps at all. does anyone have info that they can share. i culd do my own research but this is more fun.
Can someone post here ptb characters bio and map description from kyf?
Iam too lazy to download ptb xD
Wait so is Claudette Vigo's apprentice?
I am pretty sure that is what her event outfit is about? Is she? And is Dwight?
Wraith and secrets of the universe
Why The Wraith can't try to hit survivor while he's invisible? He can bodyblock them,that means that he's solid,so why he cant just try to hit,like Freddy,for example? (From the Lore side)
Quick Question About the Movie Characters
Did the non-licensed survivors/killers live in a world where Halloween, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Saw, and other such movies played in their theaters, or were the concepts of these people's existence unknown to them until they entered the realm of The Entity?
WHAT DID THE SURVIVES DO TO GET STUCK IN A CONSTANT LOOP OF MURDER AND DEATH?
Does the killer choose who to take with them? Is it just random ?Or is it much more sinister ?!!
Ace is just Old Dwight.
I have no proof. Change my mind.
Can you reveal anything about the said “Unreleased Maps”?
I recently was browsing the Dead by Daylight Gamepedia, and I noticed there were some said “unreleased maps” maps that were called: * Mini (MacMillan Estate) * Seb's Dream (MacMillan Estate) * Infinite Gym (Crotus Prenn Asylum) * Dead Lake (Backwater Swamp) * Grim Gully (Backwater Swamp) I was wondering if you guys were…
Healing
Is it even possible to heal with your clothes ON? I mean that's gotta be impossible by real life standards. This is so sad could we remove clothes for healing pls. To slow the game down just a lil bit
The base lore for the entity and certain things are meaningless
Okay at this point DBD lore has no effect on the game and liturally is better if you just make something up. I mean DBD has its problems that can be worked and sorted out, but probably never will. (Lest year the nightmare is going to be more sucsesful then DBD) But the lore is something that needs a rework or something…
Am I part lore?
Can I be part lore I am honest.
What is the possibility of a new and improved Dead by Daylight game?
I know that there isn't really much story, but I am indeed a huge fan of this game with only a few particular complaints and that is smoothness, toxicity and balance. I'm not saying make an entire new game cause this one isn't balanced, but I am saying make a new Dead by Daylight game for the next generation of consoles or…
Average employee response time
I put a question of me losing lots of levels and not getting my bp i spent back,5 days ago.:https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/29658/levels-back/p1?new=1 (link if you wanna support me or smth ) So, I was wondering. What's the average time to wait for someone to answer my question for god sake ?
Are hooks made from broken pallets?
I always wondered why the Entity would create obstacles for the killers to succeed, but it they are made for creating more hooks it would make sense.
Are the survivors the opposite to the Killer lore wise?
I don’t know if this has been mentioned before, but do you think the survivors are the opposite personality wise to the killers? For example, Kate Denison has loving supportive parents and literally didn’t enter competitions because she got sad when others lost to her, while the Clown has abusive parents and tortured…
Vigo = the entity
A somewhat out there reasoning, but I find it odd how in entry nr 30 in the hallowed blight event Benedict states that he "needs to find Vigo:" Two entries later he goes on saying "It has found me." as in, Vigo has found me instead. NExt it says "The entity is here." Any other theories as to what this could mean?
Hallowed blight numbers
So, I noticed these numbers on new skins. 2114 25. Any idea what they mean? Maybe some kind of Blizzard-style hidden teaser?
Theory about Leatherface
He did not come with a survivor because he ate them?
Is Detective Tapp also investigating the work of The Entity?
I feel as if he has gotten himself into something that is bigger than him and Jigsaw combined and would probably want to know more about how this thing works and what it is, and if there is any way he can stop it. Do you think he may have developed a new obsession or is he still focused on who's under the mask?
What was Adam Francis teaching?
I've always wandered what was Adam Franchis teaching before being taken by the entity. To me it looks like a chemistry teacher.
Moved: Evil Dead DLC
This discussion has been moved.
I checked out r/deadbydaylight and the first thing I see is 'Dead Dwights'. Possible Killer?
Alright, so I went on Reddit today and the first thing I saw on r/deadbydaylight (on the users online tab) is something about 'Dead Dwights'. Usually, this could be related to lore or a big event occurring. Can someone fill me in?
How did the pumpkins get there?
Were they lovingly (hatefully) carved out by the entity, or did it take the existing pumpkins from lampkin lane and duplicate those?
An Odd Coincidence
Meg Thomas is a red head with pigtails. You know who else has red pigtails and the last name Thomas? Wendy Thomas. (Wendy Thomas is the daughter of Dave Thomas, the founder of the Wendy's restaurant.) https://youtu.be/Ssnw2GA657s
hallowed blight lore
so i read the lore for this event on gamepedia and it states that Benedict was attacked by a killer not described like any of the other killers, but sounds like the cancelled killer the smasher, due to the fact it broke directly through a wooden wall, unlike any other killer, so is he the next killer, or is Benedict the…
if survivors becoming killers theory is true.
i think the killer would remember the survivors that he survived with and would probably not kill them.
Halloween lore: Mutation
Alright you filthy heathens. It's time to talk about this event because I'm pretty sure if you go to the Wikipedia https://deadbydaylight.gamepedia.com/The_Hallowed_Blight ☝️👆 The new will read on the lore bits and realize that the entity is going through some sort of systematic Purge every year which means this thing does…
How do you think the game will end?
I mean, it has to happen at some point.
An idea for a Lore/quest system (Reposted so the lore enthusiasts who don't stop by Wishlist can see
In another post by @neomasterr they complained that they were disinterested in playing Dead by Daylight due to a lack in the quest compartment. As a response to this, I have come up with an idea, the lore quests. After all, right now most players find the lore from the Gamepedia wiki, I suggest that we start having players…
Golden Toolbox
I was looking at my toolboxes and started reading the quotes and I came across the Engineer's Toolbox. The quote under it says " I've created tools beyond compare and stood paralyzed as they were stolen from me. These are but a poor replica, spat out by The Fog." And it got me thinking on certain maps like Haddonfield…
More of a Dwight Question
Why is he hurt when he's wearing both Manager's Vest and Relaxed Jeans?
The Entity might need some prune juice....
So I swear I'm not trying to be childish with this, but am I honestly the ONLY one reading Chapter 3, "The Blight," this way? Every year The Entity has a great purge in the form of The Blight during "The Hallowed Blight" event. So a purge could be considered a removal of unneeded waste from the "body" of The Entity and The…
Are There Any LGBTQ Survivors In The Game Or Planning To Be
i asked this in the questions for the Q and A but it was one of the non-picked ones (i wonder why). like are any of the survivors in the game now LGBTQ and if not are you planning on there being any? any one have any ideas or seen things that sugest there is? i would say Nea is a lesbian but you never know cause she could…
How can the Huntress be "older" than the Nurse?
In yesterday's stream it's been said that the Huntress is the killer who comes from further in the past, being from the WWI years, but I thought the Nurse was from the late 1800s from the appearance of her nurse outfit. She does have a WWII skin, but usually skins are not canon. So what's the deal? How old is the Nurse…
How does the Entity Find it's victims? (To go to the fog)
It's kind of been bugging me for a while now, is it like a saw situation, maybe they did something in their pass, and The Entity, sort of changes their fate so they'll end up in the fog, all of the survivors' backstories have something to do with the forest. For example: Dwight passing out in the forest, or Meg taking jogs…
Is this the Entity?
Okay, so no doubt my fellow fog goers have spotted in the back of the waiting screens there is now a colossal blob of flesh that looks rather like the visceral cankers. However, besides being much bigger, this one has no flowers blooming. After some time, I also took note it rather looks like a spiders abdomen when it…
The Plague Doctor?!
So if the entity has been around for some time.. Could there be a chance to have killers from different time erras like from year 1850 when seeing Plague Doctors mean that Death has arrived
The Cycle of "Life" Being in the Entity's Realm
I believe I recall the developers claim the killer could die under the right circumstances in the entities realm. I was wondering under what circumstances you all believe this might unfold. Is it a way of motivating the killer? Maybe if the entity gets displeased with a killer enough, they might put the killer at a…
Who do you think has the lowest amount of Hope?
Thoughts?
will the cosmetics still be available after the event?
it’d be nice to have more time as I only have like two days in a week to play
Does anyone have the link to the lore stream they did last week?
Title. I was working, and thus, missed it.
Theory: The Trapper and The Huntress are Siblings
The Trapper’s mother is never mentioned in his backstory. The Huntress’ father is never mentioned in her backstory. What if Anna’s mother married Archie MacMillan and had two children, before having to go back to Russia some reason, mostly likely because of WW1. The ring that Anna wears is most likely her mother’s wedding…
Will there ever be more stuff told about the lore?
I mean like more information on the entity, and the characters. I really like the concept of the whole trail between survivors and killers, I have been playing this game since August. I've always preferred quality over quantity, even if what I enjoy is short termed as long as it has a rocking story. I've read things about…
I feel bad for cannibal, hunters, and wraith
Just like the title says I slowly but surely feel pretty bad for them. Let me explain why. 1. The cannibal and Huntress are literally mentally challenged. Okay this one pretty much goes without saying but those two are mentally challenged. Leatherface has stated in the movies multiple times to be the medical term known as…
Does the Entity feed off of a Killer’s hope?
(i tried to post this but my internet went out so I apologize if this is posted twice lol) I’ve been playing the game for at least a month or so and I literally made this account to ask this question (I’m still new to the forum so sorry if I’m posting this in the wrong section or if it’s already been asked!) but do you…
Claudette's Love Interest
I just made this thread so that poor @Gonzalo 's thread doesn't keep getting derailed. I personally support the idea of Claudette and Jake Park being romantic partners (# CAKE) as their skills and roles work well together, arguably synergizing better than any other survivor combinations. Jake Park will keep his allies off…
Create me a Killer Nea with perks and a power please
i main nea and if you have been around this game you have hear the meme nea is the real killer from here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rzzfjryENHk but i really want to see what she would do like her power or powers, perks, maybe a few add-ons. also add some background like did she overtime want to kill her friends and…
Weird red symbol. Lore related?
So, in a game not long ago I saw a very weird red symbol on a brick wall. It was in the Crotus Prenn asylum and while I thought it was weird I didn't consider it any further. Has anyone else seen a circular sign looking sort of spidery on a wall. And does anyone know what it means? (Sadly I have lost the picture of it, if…
I Get Why The Devs Can't
I get why they can't put in characters of a young age: They'll be sued faster than Survivors disconnect after seeing a hidden Offering. But what i wonder is what the lore answer is to: Why doesn't the Entity kidnap young people?
