Do you think there should be an "End" to Dead by Daylight?
Like, how would y'all feel if there was a story mode to Dead by Daylight where there's an "End" to the game?
I just want to know your thoughts because there must be, although difficult, way to escape the Entity! 😁

Nope. It wouldn't make sense at all with current Lore

Yes I believe there should be personally. We already have multiple of the same character anyways so it wouldn't really be immersion breaking. But I feel like there needs to be an end sometime. Otherwise it's just going to be bad writing trying to further create more lore to justify not having an ending.

Have you seen 'The King' interview with MCote. The answer is....."Not yet". What could it be though? Maybe the Archives will have the answers. Maybe a tome or whatever will have memories of someone who actually escaped, that we can unlock later. I hope so!

I don't think like there is an end in this story... Basically everything what happens in entity's realm is endless..
5 -
Hmm, would kinda ruin the feeling of endlessly trapped for me.
I do like the idea of a singleplayer story though.

I think an end makes sense since the Rift will introduce memories of tge others and Wraiths chain outfit states he contemplates the time he was a good person the "end" would either be the killers revolting against the entity and somehow managing to escape be it with or without being infused with blight or some other lifeform "hunts" the entity allowing them to escape as dbd2 would introduce new survivors and killers caught in the crossfire.
The second part was inspired by a SFM on youtube where such a thing happens

I mean, if The Observer and The Auris can penetrate through the fog and check everyone's origin, then it wouldn't be much of a stretch to say there's something that can help you escape the Entity. :)
Through, I do understand your points!

I would like to see what the devs could come up with for an "ending", but I don't need it.

It should go full Cabin in the Woods, then explode and blink out of existence like Fortnite. :D

I feel like there shouldn't be an "end" end. I feel like there's always a cycle, therefore never an ending. Maybe one day we'll see/hear of a survivor or even killer escape, a survivor become a killer, who knows. I guess that would be *their* end, except in order to follow the lore, that character wouldn't exist in the game's roster anymore.
But if DBD one day saw itself dwindling in size and had to end support for the game, I'd hope they leave the characters and lore with a bittersweet send off.

This. Some kinda Lovecraftian crap

Lmao... Maybe 👀💦

I would like the lore to lead up to an ending but.........The ending isn't real it's all a just a twisted dream.
One by one they start to escape the entity into a new realm which they beleive to be heaven. After years of suffering everything is peaceful with friends and family around but things start to feel wrong and the faces of killers appear on loved ones as they slowly wake up to the reality of their situation.
They soon start to realise the Entity still has them and has moved them to a bigger scarier realm with maps that change and evolve as the game progresses with more ways to die and more objectives needed to escape.
All the stories end with Dead by Daylight 2. Hope leads to even more suffering.

Fortnite?

Uhm. Lore can change or evolve…

It will someday end but will continue live on in our therapy sessions.

"with current Lore"
0 -
Yeah, I seen that part, and eventually the lore will change because there will likely be something that can help survivors or killers escape since The Observer and The Auris is a thing now. :(
0 -
okay? Then it wouldn't be current lore. I'm confused why you brought this up.
0 -
I don't think there should be an "end" per se. The gameplay is the primary focus. I think the lore justifies why these "trials" keep happening along with some the odd things you see. Why is Michael Myers chasing Steve from Stranger Things? Why is a Babylonian Priestess vomiting on Detective Tapp from the Saw movies? We don't even think twice about these things because the lore does it's job well.

If there was a story mode with an ending...
I'd want the story to be about escaping the Entity's realm, then at the very end, when your character goes through some super special portal that's supposed to lead them out, they end up right back where they first started. Possibly with their memory wiped.
The Entity was feeding on their false hope the whole time.

The Entity is a lovecraftian entity... they can die, but not after only a few years. That takes away from it's power, and ultimately, it's horror. Maybe hundreds of years in the future, when it cannot be sustained on it's current food model... but It's only getting stronger as of right now.

That would be the most fitting "end", wouldn't it?
1 -
My end was a lot darker. In the story mode it would follow the survivors until they lost all hope and were cast to the void as soulless husks
0 -
Sounds interesting. Maybe it could happen to killers as well.
The husks are shown to include famous killers from all the previous centuries and folk lore are revealed with some well known and less known survivors from those same periods.

When I think of the void I imagine Coldharbour from the Elder Scrolls in how souls are drawn there and become Soul Shriven.

I dont wanna know any ending to this story/game until the final chapter is here.... which if bhvr has their way wont be for another 5 years
0 -
I'd be happy if it ended......... With dbd2. Where the the entity has gotten in over its head and is forced to disband the killers and survivors into a real time, open world survival game...... For both killers and survivors. Survivors live off the land, killers live off survivors.

Even if everyone escaped, the entity could just grab more and it would start all over.
0 -
Lore wise it's impossible to escape even demogorgon who can travel between dimensions can't escape the entity

There can be an ending. But would require no hope from anyone. Then the entity would be weakened and could be defeated ... But it also is impossible.
1 -
Isn't that a paradox?
0 -
Yep.
Because you need hope to defeat the entity. But with hope you can't.
Since hope strengthens the entity, nothing can truly defeat it. Only weaken.
