Dead By Daylight’s New Quest System: Progress or Setback?

Sure thing! Here’s a messy, human-like redo of that article:

So, have you ever dived back into a game you love, expecting the same old, and bam! Everything’s just… different? That’s Dead by Daylight now. They’ve rolled out this big ol’ update — I mean, they’ve practically given it a new wardrobe. Especially the Rift. The thing looks almost unrecognizable. Not all bad, mind you. Some things are better, some not so much. It’s like trying on a new pair of shoes; might pinch a bit until you break them in, you know?

Now, there’s this new survivor. Orela Rose. Sounds cool, right? But, wait, sorry, where was I? Ah! The Rift. It’s like Dead by Daylight saw Fortnite’s seasons and thought, “Hey, we can do that.” So, they reworked it. Instead of a map, you now get this list. Everything’s available out of the gate, no more unlocking as you go. Feels different for sure. How this tweaks the game flow? Guess we’ll find out.

Right, here’s a nugget of spice for you: tackling missions is now easier. Imagine being able to juggle multiple quests at once — no more picking one and sticking with it. You can nibble on all of them! Also, you don’t have to beat certain quests to move on. It’s like a buffet where you can sample everything. Neat, huh? But it’s not all sunshine and rainbows, folks. Some things are slowing down. Yep. Rift fragments, I’m looking at you.

They upped the fragment count to 100 for leveling up. Apparently, we’re all earning math degrees here! Daily quests throw 15 our way, weeklies give us 75, which is nice, but there are only five of them. Milestones? Well, that’s a whole climb. Makes you think, “Should I be doing this math for fun?”

And here’s the real kicker—Dead by Daylight’s new system feels it’s having an identity crisis. Remember those quirky glyphs and memory fragments? The ones that made you scratch your head and think, “What on earth are they thinking?” Yeah, they’re kinda missing. It’s like the game’s trading its unique flavors for something more mainstream, and I’m honestly conflicted.

Now, while Dead by Daylight grapples with its quest existentialism, the timing is suspiciously handy. Freddy’s crossover is on the horizon — I know, right? Feels like a bit of a gamble. But, as they say, time will tell. Maybe it’ll all come together, or maybe we’ll just miss those strange glyphs haunting us. Either way, buckle up, because it’s gonna be one heck of a ride.

Anyway, see you in the fog, or wherever this game takes us next!
