The game should be a narrative sandbox
What does Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz say about Blood of Dawnwalker? In an interview with Games Radar, he spoke about the many options you want to offer. He says you want to maximize the options of the decisions. This should not only focus on the gameplay, but on storytelling. He also says that it is her strength.
There would be no endless possibilities because you play a solid character, but you want to develop a narrative sandbox that can steer quests in different directions and twists. As an example, he says that you allow the player to kill many NPCs, including really important ones.
However, it is not clear whether it is limited to the story or whether you can simply do an important figure of the story as you please.
Sometimes this can lead to alternative results or even interrupt certain quest lines. And of course that is related to our other systems […] If you are a Dawnwalker, it means that during the night you have this blood hunger, which can lead to these NPCs die when you are not careful.
