The Blood of Dawnwalker's Most Popular Mod Completely Defeats the Purpose of the Game

The Blood of Dawnwalker already has a time-altering mod that largely defeats the purpose of the game.

The Blood of Dawnwalker's Most Popular Mod Completely Defeats the Purpose of the Game

The Blood of Dawnwalker, a recent RPG from former CD Projekt Red staff, follows a vampire protagonist given 30 days to save his family. The game features a non-linear storyline with multiple quest approaches, but the 30-day time limit forces players to be strategic about their choices. A popular NexusMods mod, Better Story Timer, has gained traction, allowing players 90 days instead of the original clock.

While this mod extends playtime, its sudden release a day after the game's debut has sparked criticism from users who feel they should experience the game as intended. Critics argue that gamers often demand games cater to their preferences, which can lead to disappointment when that's not the case. The Blood of Dawnwalker, however, has received positive reviews, including a 9/10 score from IGN, which commends its compelling vampire transformation mechanics and challenging gameplay.
