Plot section needs to be updated
[edit]Since the release of the rift, a significant amount of plot information has been revealed through each tome, and that section needs to be updated. The tone seems off as well, although it's hard for me to tell. SleepForever (talk) 18:02, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
Ghost Face license
[edit]I have amended this page to remove references to the Scream film franchise. As shown on the official Dead by Daylight website and the Steam page, Ghost Face is the exclusive property of the company that created the mask, Fun World, and its use in this game has been licensed directly from that company (just as Scream's use of the mask is a wholly separate license from that company). There has never been any official publication by Behaviour or Fun World stating any connection to the Scream franchise whatsoever. DBD's Ghost Face license is not associated in any way with Scream, and attributing it to such is false and misleading information on this page. 2604:3D09:6581:7A00:E9D0:9A7E:B184:527 (talk) 06:43, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
My, that's silly. The situation of which company owns what is interesting, mostly for lawyers. But according to the lore, in-universe, Ghost Face is of course from, at least connected to, the film Scream. Maybe a footnote would do. --Gott (talk) 04:15, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
I agree with correcting this. The statement that anything is licensed from the Scream franchise in the leading paragraph of this page is wrong and in contradiction with the info on the page for Ghostface. Mottengott's argument that this is silly and we should not be concerned with Wikipedia being correct because we are not lawyers is a bad one. Also the statement that the lore connects him to the film franchise does not seem to be true. A footnote mentioning the intentional likeness would be more appropriate than a footnote that is a correction. -Ninjabell (talk) 14:53, 3 March 2023 (UTC)

Cite error

There's a quite obvious citation error in the info box. It's being caused by one to many "|" in the efn template.
It currently starts:
{{efn||Behaviour now
but should start:
{{efn|Behaviour now
You will also need to add a new section above the References section.

The statement "as well as expanding the lore of it's in-game universe which the japanese gaming community tends to favor in video games" needs [citation needed] added right after. It's a big generalization and the source in the following sentence mentions this... as a quote from an opinion of one guy. If this is to remain in here, it needs to be rephrased as a quote, or provide proper sources, or add [citation needed]. Exhalent (talk) 06:58, 6 January 2022 (UTC)
Not done – please clarify - Please make sure to add actual citations if you want an edit request to be accepted, happy editing!</nowiki> SoyokoAnis - talk 12:46, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
List of Dead by Daylight characters
[edit]I really think that there should be a list of characters in the franchise made. Maybe even two separate lists. One for the Survivors and one for the Killers.
(161.29.246.205 (talk) 22:40, 1 February 2022 (UTC))
Seconded. --Gott (talk) 04:18, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
The Trickster's inclusion in the legendary/ultra rare skin portion of the Character section
[edit]This outfit isn't a separate character as stated in its description on the official Dead by Daylight website. 2600:1700:A2F0:6420:59B:6858:99A8:4BFE (talk) 13:45, 15 February 2022 (UTC)
The current gameplay screenshot is outdated and should be replaced.
[edit]The screenshot in the gameplay section of the article is from an earlier version of the game. The map shown in the screenshot, the generator and survivor models and the HUD have all since been changed. 2600:1700:A2F0:6420:95F1:1D29:A8FE:4A50 (talk) 00:28, 15 March 2022 (UTC)
- To add to this, a possible idea would be to keep the old picture as a survivor pov from earlier in the game's history, and then a new screenshot from the killer's pov with the new hud layout and to showcase the first person perspective as well.Yeoutie (talk) 04:51, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
