What do you guys think a FULL ancient/historical chapter being in DBD?

It's a mixture of lore reasons and just my general personal preferences.

TL;DR version: Vittorio's story and the implications of his story, perk descriptions and cosmetic descriptions adds more to the overall lore of dbd than what something like a peasant or wizard Survivor would add, also because we already have Mikaela to fill the Wizard role. I feel like staying 100% authentic to the time-period chosen as the setting for the chapter limits the freedom that can be added to the fantasy of which the world DBD has already established for itself and also because i find it more interesting when there are elements of the supernatural.

Long version: I just think it's more interesting to add more fantasy elements to expand the lore in an older time period than having it be absolutely authentic to how it was back then, it also just feels more limiting in how much freedom you can have with a lore that takes place in a fantasy setting if you try to be as authentic and realistic as possible with it.

As far as the Survivor goes: Vittorio serves as the Indiana Jones of DBD with how he goes on expedition to uncover treasures, artifacts and relics while also researching arcane knowledge, old or lost civilizations, the whereabouts of the Observers, etc.

Overall i feel Vittorio is a more interesting character than what something like a peasant or a wizard would be. If Vittorio was a peasant then he would most likely just be some ordinary nobody with nothing special to him, while if he was a wizard then he would probably be some powerful figure of importance. What we ended up with feels like a nice balance between both.

Also another thing i appreciate about Vittorio is that normally Survivor's default cosmetics are their everyday clothing which they wore when they entered the fog, however because it's not his actual clothing from back before he got taken and the implications of both Vittorio's bio and the text from both his perks & default cosmetics, it means he's managed to find a way to avoid the entity's trial and it's influence to some capacity most likely thanks to some of that arcane knowledge he's been learning about prior since he got that blue aura light on his body and how according the the halloween tome, it's been teased that someone (most likely Vittorio) has been stealing arcane tattoo symbols from the bodies of other Survivors and has added to his own.

As far as the map goes: I think it looks fine as it is aesthetically, looks like the abandoned remains from some medieval battlefield, could maybe use a few adjustments to make scratchmarks easier to see, but other than that it's okay imo.

I love your idea for an Ancient Egyptian chapter with maybe a deranged mummy priest/priestess as a killer, with a Brenden Fraser-inspired survivor. Like imagining the Mummy's Mori is kind of terrifying, like shoving the survivor inside a beetle-filled sarcophagus where they're eaten alive by the insects or they're wrapped in bandages and then pulled inside a sarcophagus where they're then buried alive by being dragged under the ground (similar to Pinhead's Mori).

Personally, I'd like to see a Salem Witch type killer. An innocent person who was accused, tried and almost executed for Witchcraft during the Salem trials. The Entity takes them and kind of brainwashes them into being loyal to it by giving the magic/witch powers and casting an illusion over them to think that survivors are their accusers (similar to how Slinger sees survivors as the ones who wronged him) and tries to get vengeance on them for their cruel treatment of her.

So, you mean Adiris's time to shine?

I think it would be interesting to have Medusa as a killer. Like imagine if your being chased by them, if you look at them you get hindered then turn into a stone for a few seconds if you look even longer. Like you have to loop but be mindful of where you are looking. Id, would be cool as hell to me.

My preferred killer concept would fit an ancient Roman or Greek chapter.

The Morai, or Hecate, or any three-part/three-headed deity for that matter.

Takes the form of three statues, which are fixed and completely stone-like when not 'active'. You're able to control any of the three statues at a time, and then switch between them, perhaps on a short cooldown. So you can set statues up in certain locations and use them as quick travel points.

It would play a bit like Demo/Hag/Twins in terms of zoning or map mobility, but also allow anti-loop plays like you set up a statue in a key location, like the shack doorway for example, and can chase the survivor around one side, before swapping back to the one in the doorway to head them off like Dredge. It would take a bit more set up than Dredge, almost on the same level as Trapper. Or you can spread them out and use them for wider map pressure and gen defence.

Taking a bit of inspiration from the latest killer though, each statue could have it's own 'strengths'. For example: (each one has it's own weapon)

A: 115% movement, 32m TR, double stun recovery speed. (Pugio)

B: 110% movement, 24m TR, double lunge distance. (Spatha)

C: 105% movement, 16m TR, attacks inflict deep wound. (Gladius)

If the upcoming chapter is not good for what you are asking, then no.

Because you are not asking for historycal correct, you asking for YOUR historycal correct.

BHVR does do some good history chapters (mostly killers)

But that can only be seen if you read and analyse your sources

I would prefer the way the next chapter was done, i have zero interest towards an ancient survivor.
