I nogle spil, og det er ikke synderligt mange, er der så meget frihed at du tildels kan "ødelægge" din egen gennemspilning ved at dræbe afgørende NPC-karakterer, der er kritiske for at skubbe spillets plot eller progression fremad.
Dog nyder nogle spillere disse meget åbne rammer, og dem kommer de til at finde i det kommende The Blood of Dawnwalker. I et interview med GamesRadar siger instruktør Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, at du sagtens kan dræbe alt du ser, inklusiv dem der skal hjælpe dig videre på din vej:
"It's a sandbox, meaning we're trying to maximize your options of your choice in the game. It's not exactly endless possibilities, because obviously we have a set character you're playing with Coen, and he has his own personality and so on, but within this personality we're trying to give you the ability to shape your own Coen For example, we allow you to kill off a lot of NPCs, and a lot of them can be really important NPCS. Sometimes this can lead to alternate outcomes or even cut off certain quest lines...you being a Dawnwalker means that you have this blood hunger during the night time, so this can actually lead to these NPCs dying if you're not careful."
Du kan se gameplay-glimt herunder, men vi får en mere helstøbt præsentation af spillet i løbet af sommeren.
