    They have much more freedom with their own characters than they do with Licensed characters.

    I feel the unlicensed DLCs are more creative and allows the devs to make characters which fit into the game better rather than plopping a alien from a different dimension into the game

    I love the original killers they come up with but I find the DLC killers to be more fun to play via their toolkits and perks.

    I find the licensed characters are really cool I'd love to see Pennywise my only issue is the licenced characters is that they are very much limited to how they can look outfit wise they really don't have much. I HATE playing against scream cause 90% of the time they teabag lmao but it would be much funnier if they had the "WASSUP" mask.

    No one can complain about the licensed characters, after all they were the ones who made the game much more famous than it would be with just og characters.

    praise licensed pals!

    They're both fine, but BHVR have been spot ######### on with their killers, you cant get a power & design like Oni's from a license

    I only prefer licensed because of the new people it brings to the game. I don't think behaviour do enough to advertise the game to people. Stuff like getting paid advertisements on YouTube or Twitch can make a big difference to bringing people to your game.

    If it isn't a licensed chapter then no one really knows about it, outside of the dbd community.

    1. You can earn them in game.
    2. Many of their powers are actually powerful.
    3. Unlicensed have more freedom with perks/ideas.
    4. You can get cosmetics with Shards.

    Half of my reasoning is because of how economical it is. If main-line DBD took a page from Mobiles book, and allowed Auric cells to be earned in game, half my complaints would go away (as you can earn licensed killers on mobile instead of just buying them).

    Also, the designs. As much as Freddy or Myers is iconic, the designs for the original characters are way more memorable to me.

    I really like being able to see what ideas people can come up with and it also gets rid of the hassle of any "legal" stuff like being able to have extra cosmetics. I do love Freddy though

    As much as I love originals like Wraith, Legion, and Oni, as a massive horror movie fan being able to play as and fight some of my favorite characters makes a huge impact on me. I only wish we could get more cosmetics on some of them, even if it's not likely

    Licensed killers are the only reason why I bought this game

    I don't really care as long as they have a power I like. But generally I think original characters are more likely to have that so I prefer those

    I like the intriguing new stories the devs come up with with each of their original killers and their powers never fail to be unique or interesting in my opinion. Plague or Hag have to be my favorite of their unlicensed killers and I can't wait to see their archive stories and cosmetics ^^

    Honestly while I love a lot of horror movies. I like the unlicensed because usually their powers are much better, and the stories are really good. But maybe it's just cause I like a lot of original stories.

    Overall, I've seen better things come out of unlicensed DLC. Also, if you grind enough, you can get them with shards.

    Completely new characters where they can imagine whatever, no restrictions on cosmetics & lore, a completely fresh feeling instead of just hitting the nostalgia button...

    I like it when BHVR gets creative with it. I like seeing new things and i'm all about creativity and something new.
