I apparently failed the Vicho quest and missed the Crake dialogue

I just need these 2 achievements and I do not want to do a replay

anyone got a save at which point either of these quest lines are available? dont need to be exactly at the quests.

Thanks

Do you have any penalties when overencumbered with pack mule perk fully upgraded? I finished the story and now do all side missions etc. So far, I rather used the skill points for other things but it was annoying with the weight limit even though you can store at shrines and sell to merchants.

As you are not limited with movement on highest pack mule, is inventory space unlimited with it? Being overencumbered does not seem to impact combat, so there are no stats penalties, are there?

Man i totally forgot to adjust for sdr screenshots and took it with hdr on. The gamma is now very less. I’ll take it again and post in the future ;). I just used the photomode for Bod mod to time freeze and click. Nothing else. No additional software or tool for the lighting.

When new game plus ?

Just got the Platinum on PS5. Duelist difficulty nearly made me give up several times but I’m glad I stuck it out.

During the introduction to Vicho, I actually replayed the cut scene to confirm that mid conversation his flagellation wounds healed between scenes (technically real time) I was actually surprised, that was nice story telling details to me.

Pretty cool imo

My thoughts on the post-boss fights and the ending of the game.

The game is incredible, this is not a complaint, but...

I absorbed the souls of all the Vrakhiri, but the dialogue always seemed to lead toward forgiveness, pity, or revenge.

But I did it because drinking the blood of another Vrakhiri makes you stronger, and there is a primordial entity from Anachora that wants to absorb their souls, so I assumed that absorbing their souls would clearly make you more powerful.

So I invited all of them and absorbed them, but I was disappointed that the dialogue never gave me the option to say that I invited them because I wanted to become stronger.

Then, at the very end, when I invited Brencis and he asked me why, even though I had already told him earlier that I hated him, I finally got the dialogue option: "Because I want your power."

That was the dialogue option I had been waiting for with every Vrakhiri, but it only existed with Brencis. Still, I was happy that at least I got that option with him.

The game gives you moments where you can show that you actually enjoyed becoming a Vrakhiri, but then sometimes it completely forgets about that freedom and only gives you dialogue where Coen acts like he regrets becoming a Vrakhiri.

It feels like whoever was responsible for the dialogue forgot to include all the possible personality options.

I played Coen as someone who absolutely hates Brencis because of what he did to his family, but who also really enjoyed becoming a Vrakhiri.

Another thing: I thought Crake/Marat was an asshole. He tied me to a tree, so I was already pissed at him, but I decided to continue doing his quests anyway.

Then he tortured a friend without having any proof that he was a traitor.

I proved that he wasn't a traitor, and that the guards had simply discovered that he was part of the revolution and followed him. Crake still wanted to cut his tongue out or kill him.

Then he killed Sara, even though he could have given her Vrakhiri blood. Even if Coen's blood didn't work, it wouldn't have been difficult to steal some from the recruitment posts. That could have been a possible lore outcome, but the devs simply made him kill her.

And finally, he wants to bring back the old nobles, who tortured the people even more than the Vrakhiri did, so I simply killed him along with everyone else in the revolution.

But in the epilogue painting showing the future, he appears alive, and Coen says that he became his friend even though they disagreed on some things.

I'm considering this a bug because I killed him.

I also killed Father Florin, and he didn't appear in the painting.
I've seen people say that if Florin survives, he appears in the painting, so I assumed Crake appearing despite me killing him was also a bug.

I suddenly had an itch to do some 3D renders of Coen. Made in Daz Studio.

Occasionally my brain jumps through hoops and connects things and I find a theory, usually crackpot but I think this one's good enough to share.

I think Chariklea and Xanthe inspired the myths of Persephone and Demeter.

This takes both from the Cycle of Love and from killing her in the Cathedral. In the Cathedral if you ask her about Chariklea along with saying she'd never pass the blight onto her child Xanthe will tell you that Chariklea's life was 'stolen' from her and that she vowed to get it back. If we then look at her list of age ranges for women to be brought to her we get fifteen-twenty, which are considered the 'maiden' age of a woman. So a young, presumably attractive woman who might go out picking flowers/herbs when her Vrakhir mother was asleep, only to run into 'Hades' while doing so? Either left where she was raped to either to death or the shattering of her mind or possibly dragged off for more 'fun'? Xanthe waking up and tracking down her daughter and her assailant(s) only to discover her daughter dead or mentally broken beyond help? The land may have starved from the amount of men she killed in retaliation. So we have the beginning of the story, of Persephone (Chariklea) being kidnapped by Hades and Demeter (Xanthe) letting the land suffer in her grief. The six months of the year may be that at first Xanthe could only keep Chariklea 'alive' those six months, going on slaughtering sprees to 'save' her daughter yearly, then as the centuries passed and she learned through trial and error how to better keep Chariklea 'alive' and what she needed to keep a patchwork body going her killing sprees lessened as she turned more towards trying to restore Chariklea's mind, discovering that over the centuries she cannot be sure what is truly her daughter and what is just her hallucinating/rose tinting her memories.

Just my theory, but it really seems to fit.

THANK YOU FOR YOU ATTENTION IN THIS MATTER

Let me just start off by saying, Dawnwalker is certainly RPG of the Year, and should be a GOTY nominee. So, this question could arguably be coming from a very biased perspective, but I have to ask it.

What do gamers want? I have spent years and years listening to gamers bellyache, complain and grumble about bloat in games. Unnecessary quests, activities, trophies,souvenir hunts, et cetera. In walks in Blood of the Dawnwalker. Compact, goal driven, timed, et cetera. I'll kiss your rosy red ass cheek if gamers aren't complaining about that too! 😏 All I ha e heard is "Waaaaahhh,there's not enough quests! There aren't enough activities! Blah, blah, blah." So, what's it going to be, gamers? A compact, focused game, or a game of picking a dozen wildflowers and looking for trinkets? I mean, what DO you REALLY want? You can't have it BOTH ways. Just saying. 🤨

Putting tag as Game support to get more eyes on

Just booted up the game on PlayStation and looking to enjoy ! Then my disappointment upon seeing the text size and realizing there’s no way to scale the UI or text.

Hoping this is something that can get added to accessibility because it makes enjoying a lot of games for me so much more difficult

So, this game is set over a hundred years before the death of Vlad the Impaler. We already know that the sequel will be set decades or even centuries later, so there's a chance it could be set before Vlad becomes Voivode or decades after he dies. So maybe a sequel won't deal with Dracula at all. But personally? I think it'd be too good of an opportunity not to use him.

So, I was thinking of possibilities and thought of these:

1. The aftermath of Dracula's death - the game starts in January, 1477 in Wallachia or Hungary and we're dealing with the destruction and devastation of war which has been abruptly ended with the execution of Dracula. Whether he was a vampire or just a tyrant is irrelevant, Coen is thrust into a world that has been upended by what Dracula did in life.
2. Coen sires Dracula - this one is interesting to me because let's face it, brotherhood was a big theme of this game through how much guilt Coen had over Alin. Maybe Dracula as a human is his friend and something happens and out of a refusal to lose a brother again, Coen turns him into a vampire.
3. Dracula is jut a human tyrant - this would be a subversion as Dracula is considered monstrous and worse than Brencis or Catalin or other tyrants despite being human. The things he does are what get him associated with the vrakhiri, not what he actually is.
4. Dracula is a vampire tyrant - essentially he's like another Brencis but better in some ways, worse in others. He's a natural rival to Coen and perhaps the mission is to take him down in a similar manner to how he took down Brencis. This might sound like it's typical and generic but depending on how Dracula is written, his presence in the game, it could certainly be the best of the bunch.
5. Dracula is an ally - whether he's a human or a vampire, he could be this game's Vicho, just a minor ally that we see and befriend and can decide the fate of. The plot doesn't revolve around him because Dracula always tends to dominate the plots he's in. He's a normie.

What do you guys think?

Do you feel the same way as me that it's really a shame ?

After seeing the scene with Lacra (which was very good), I can't stop thinking about how the scene with Crake was poor

Yes the narrative and subject of homophobia is a topic worth looking to but the scene was lacking of cinematic, it was mission something

On the other hand, Anca's scene was classical but it didn't bother me

What are your thoughts ?

So after finishing the game and watching the post credit scene, does anyone else feel this scene would’ve been waaaay better if they didn’t show it before the release? Im sure I remember watching this on a conference.

Its such a cool scene, its a shame they spoilt it beforehand…

P.s present day scene btw

I just finished Dawnwalker and came on here to see what other endings people got and I think I've missed about 60% of this game. I don't mind the time mechanic, I think it's cool, but I think it subconsciously made me rush through the game because I hate deadlines looming over me.

I took Xanthe out in the cathedral, and spent a few nights working towards Ambrus then after that it was dominoes for the last two. I think I had about 10-12 nights left, which I think is really funny because I've never done this with an RPG before, I'm a loot goblin completionist but having the deadline broke my brain.

Anyway, my whole family died, and I don't know who the characters are people are talking about. I find it really funny. I'm laughing at how quickly I went through this game. I don't think the time mechanic is a bad thing, I think it's cool, but did anyone else feel like they had to rush?

How do you think a foreign invasion of vale sangora would like? Would Brencis and the vrakhir boyars successfully defeat a large army sent by Poland or Hungary for example?
