This Myers skin? Or Dwight? I know it's a difficult question so if you need time to meditate or rethink the choice you made, I can't say j blame you for it. Though if you are ready, then let's proceed22 comments 801 views last activity

Hey all, I think this discussion would fit pretty well in the Lore section as well as general, due to killer/survivor speculation. Have any lore focused inputs to share? https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/127611/primus-coins#latest3 comments 932 views last activity

In the event of an uprising of the killers in the event of a weakened Entity, where survivors and killers are free to roam the Fog, this is how I think the killers would act. The Observer would likely be a major player in this event, perhaps even the cause. Antagonist: Attacks killers and survivors alike, for their own pleasure or in defense of the Entity. Neutral: Attacking only survivors or n8 comments 511 views last activity

After watching a video of each of the trailers I noticed that all the survivors had a killer except for Toxic and Camped, oh sorry Jake and Claudette.

Having finished Jane’s archive last night I was disappointed to find out that this is still unanswered. So for anyone who’s read Jane’s lore, you know that she has some abandonment issues due to the absence of her mother, famous actress Loretta Lawrence. However later in her story after Jane launches her own talk show, she plans a two hour special on divorce, when she finds out her absentee mot6 comments 251 views last activity

I am currently studying English Literature in University, we recently discussed about Modernist Literature (20's to the 50's) and how authors were using interior monologues and free indirect speech to tell their stories. Basically, the narrator tells the story of a character, but using its vocabulary and describing its thoughts, without necessarily being the character speaking itself. It sounded17 comments 281 views last activity

We see this theme a lot in the deeper lore of fantasy and horror films/books. For example, Shelob, the spider seen in TLOTR, is a spawn from a god type being that took the form of a spider and mated with a real spider, in order to produce offspring that possessed it's power, or variations of it (May have got that slightly wrong, but who know's lol). Now, knowing how malicious and cruel the Entity4 comments 161 views last activity

On deathslingers lore it says: " At his feet, he saw a dusty path, and, at its end, silhouettes of all who had done him wrong: the boys who bullied him, the executives who took advantage of him, and, again... Henry Bayshore. Emerging from a fog were the tools to dispose of them — unforgiving steel hooks, brilliant and beautiful in their simplicity.

Why as there been absolutely no attempt to explore this amazing concept? The whole premise of the game is killers sacrificing survivors to the entity, allowing it to feed off of the hope of survivors until they, themselves, become a killer. Yet there has nothing in-game or otherwise to suggest that this has ever happened. All survivor backstories are just that, stories of who they were befo9 comments 151 views last activity

Overview: After revisiting a game that I played a little while ago, I noticed a subtle, yet noticeable detail included in the game. The game I revisited was Payday 2. In case you don’t already know, Payday 2 did some sort of collaboration with Dead by Daylight to promote both of their games back in 2016. Payday 2 created more masks that the player would be able to wear that specifically related2 comments 821 views last activity

Just noticed that many killers and survivors share some conflicts with their parents. Those conflicts literally made them who they are now. Definetly can't argue that parents have SIGNIFICANT role in one's personal growth. But, well, Bhvr... maybe you overdo it... just a bit? Gonna go brief, cause it's a lot ground to cover. Killers. Just think about it, if only they had wiser parents and hap3 comments 241 views last activity

Two years. Two years since the entity speak things from the first year anniversary. I've seen no one come even close to finding a clue. The Hawkins easter eggs got solved in a fraction of that time. Is it solvable? Is there a key that can be pieced together at all?8 comments 251 views last activity

In wiki I discovered the reckoning note's and one of them is more important. The observer knows Vigo. His name, so we know that Vigo is alive. In wiki Vigo is the alchemist. So there 2 theory that maybe could be wrong, that sure. 1 theory. Vigo is the observer, and he read his own memories. I think she is the hooded guy that be in the void and he escaped using the serum. Don't remember his name a2 comments 71 views last activity

Other than the crows?I know we don't see any other animals which are not really real animals to begin with. Bu it's fun to speculate. Oh i also forgot that i also hear the sound of crickets at the lobby campfire.So we already have 2 animals.15 comments 291 views last activity

I've just unlocked the final chapter for Manchester Mash-up (Memories: David King) in the archives. In the end, David beats some guys who were taking orders from a man called "Uncle Brass", and than receives an offer to work for him. In the animation, we can see Uncle Brass' face, and... it's Archie MacMillan, The Trapper's father! He is a bit younger, but, his face and clothes are very similar t2 comments 791 views last activity

Okay. So this is out there. We. The player. Are the entity. Think about it, we control these characters. We ask for new killers and survivors constantly. We request Michale we got Michael. We wanted Ghostface we got Ghost face. We wanted Freddy We got freddy. We keep bringing these poor people and these monsters to our realm for our amusement.

iv finished the rin yamaoka archives mission today and seeing the little movie i can say WOW that gave me chills, very well done. Getting straight to the point at the end of the animation you see rin surrounded by 3 Samurais, and that gave me 2 theorys. The yamaokas power came from an entity deal or curse and the three samurais behind rin are brothers ( if it is a curse being brothers are ok, a0 comments 61 views last activity

As the title says, Kazan and Rin actually use the same weapon, taken from different time periods. I think this is super interesting, because even though we already know the Entity is outside of time, we haven't actually seen a 'paradox' like this until now.

The Realms of Dead by Daylight all seem to have an irl location, for instance: Haddonfield, IL MacMillan Estate - near Seattle, WA Léry's Memorial Institute - Michaelstown, IL Springwood, OH Each one of these locations are implied either by the lore of the related Realm or by solid clues. However, there are two plausible theories for Autohaven Wreckers: Illinois - This theory is implied4 comments 252 views last activity

This is my own opinion of what happens to the survivor during the trails of their time. Basically go over how well they are towards other people, actions they normally take, and what they might become after being in the trails for so long. Dwight: Hesitate but attempts to be brave. Everyone knows him and respects him. After a long time in the trails, he will become the "Leader" of the group a8 comments 332 views last activity

This is not a speculation to killers we will get, but one based upon which ones could fit. For me, the big two that come to mind are a little obscure, but Matt Cordell from the Maniac Cop franchise, and Victor Crowley from the Hatchet movies. Matt was a police officer who was tortured and presumed dead after being wrongfully imprisoned. He emerges many years later as a tall officer with brute9 comments 311 views last activity

I was doing my totem challenges for survivor and i saw David Kings perk challenge where you have to unhook safely or get protection hits and i was listening to a Oasis song called 'Live Forever' and there is a lyric were the lead singer says 'You and I, We're Gonna Live Forever' and so I started to think.

Yup, its little things we didn't notice playing and playing the game but its always been theres; the junks and the garbages on the ground.

For anyone reading who hasn’t unlocked all currently available archives lore, this will contain mild spoilers for the Spirit’s story. I’m sure most people know what I’m talking about, but for those who don’t know, they released a trailer for the new archives tome before it was released. Here is a link for anyone who hasn’t seen it yet: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_93z7fpCaHI In this trail3 comments 171 views last activity

There have been a few instances, it seems, of survivors going from the real world straight into an ongoing trial in the realm of the Entity. Bill's cinematic shows him revived right beside an active generator as a killer comes around the corner, straight from where he died by a generator in the game.

So I love horror movies and I thought it would be fun in categorising the DBD survivors into the classic horror movie tropes. So the categories to place the survivors are: Jock Nerd/Smart One Comic Relief/Fool Sex bomb/Freak Final Guy/Girl Survivors can be in multi categories if you wish. My list: Jock: David King, Meg Thomas, Steve Harrington, Yui Kimura Nerd/Smart One: Dwight15 comments 609 views last activity

Is the Nurse's mind broken? Because when someone snaps it last some hours. I believe that the Nurse is trying to recover but the mist just won't let her. That's why imo she will be cooperative in a 2v8 situation with another killer. What do you think?5 comments 262 views last activity

Seriously, here story allows for many an oppertunity to make her evil. For examples: maybe she made or spread the plague on purpose to gain rank quicker between the religious healers she was a student off. Maybe she grew angry with her inability to heal people so out of frustration she killed those that came for her aid. Maybe she went full Final Fantasy and desided that to end all suffering,3 comments 251 views last activity

To those who don't, Danny Rolling was a serial killer who killed five students in Gainesville, Florida. He also was the inspiration for Ghostface in scream. So what are the connections with BHVR's Ghostface? 1) Ghostface's real name (Danny Johnson) shares the same first name with Danny Rolling 2) BHVR removed the word Gainesville, replacing it with Roseville. Which is located in Florida, in DBD3 comments 371 views last activity

Alright, so I've been thinking, of what the Entity is, and I can't help but see it's similarities with multi cell organisms. So let me break it down for you, the human body is a multi cell organism that whenever all the cells in the body work together it spreads nutrients, and keeps it living - capable of doing the things we do each day.

The Entity is 100% plant, change my mind? The Entity is a perennial plant which blooms every October. It uses the hope from the survivors like fertilizer, it needs to take beings from different universes so it can keep growing. Spreading its roots throughout every existence to eventually take over, like a weed. So y’all think The Entity is a sentient god or something?

So which killer do you believe was the most evil before they were taken by the entity? I'm not including licensed characters in this discussion as Freddy and Myers would probably be the most obvious winner. For me I think the Doctor and the Clown were the most evil and sadistic before they were taken by the entity. The Oni, Frank (The Legion), and Ghostface were evil as well but in my opinion4 comments 131 views last activity
